I knew a guy who claimed he shot 79 every time he played. He stunk, a 5 here a 6 there.... How could this guy shoot a 79? Sure enough.....when he hit his 79th stroke he quit. ------ Here is an e-mail the ladies will hate. ONLY A TRUE GOLFER CAN UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS STORY, ONE MUST PUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VALUE SYSTEM FIRST AND ABOVE ALL. A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie the second. On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole in one when his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that the he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital. He ended up finishing all eighteen. He finished his round shooting a personal best 61 shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant, then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about about his wife's condition. He doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn't you! I hope your proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country club your wife has been languishing in the ICU! Its just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will be more than likely your last! For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care. And you'll be her care giver!" The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed. The doctor started to snicker and said, "Just kidding! She died more than two hours ago. What'd you shoot?
