JDN-Very nice story.

Here's an anecdotal urban myth that kinda goes along with your experience...

Moses and Jesus were playing golf. Moses says to Jesus, "Jesus, you're never gonna hit that ball over that water hazard with that nine iron". Jesus says "Moses, don't tell me. I've seen Arnold Palmer do this on television". So, Jesus whacks the ball and <plop>, it goes into the water hazard. Jesus looks over at Moses and asks "Moses, could you please retrieve my ball for me?". Moses rolls his eyes, walks up to the water hazard, parts the water, picks up the ball, walks back and hands it to Jesus. Jesus tees up again. Moses says more emphatically, "Jesus, you're never gonna hit the ball over that water hazard with that nine iron!". Jesus says, "Moses, don't tell me. I've seen Arnold Palmer do this on television". So Jesus whacks the ball and <plop> it goes into the water hazard. Jesus looks over at Moses. Moses rolls his eyes and walks out to the water hazard to part it and retrieve the ball.

Moses hands the ball back to Jesus. Jesus puts the ball on the tee. Moses exclaims "Jesus. You're never gonna hit that ball over the water hazard with that nine iron!". Jesus says, "Moses, don't tell me. I've seen Arnold Palmer do this om television - If it goes in the water this time, I'll get it myself". Jesus whacks the ball and <plop> into the water hazard.

True to his word Jesus goes out to the water hazard to retrieve his ball. As he's walking on the surface of the water hazard, another golfer drives by in a golf cart, sees Jesus and yells over to Moses - "Hey! Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ?!". Moses yells back, "No - Arnold Palmer!"
