Harold was teeing off from the back tees. On his down-swing, he suddenly realized that his wife, Judy, was about to tee off from the red tees, directly in his path. Unable to stop his down swing he nailed the ball, hit Judy directly in the right temple, killing her instantly. A few days later Harold received a call from the coroner concerning her autopsy . "Harold, your wife seems to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and struck her in the temple. Is that correct?
"Yes sir," Harold replied, "that's correct."
"Well, Harold, I also found a large bruise on Judy's right hip. Do you know anything about that?"
"Yes sir," Harold said, "That would have been my mulligan.
Practice Pays Off
I'm not quite that obsessed with golfing but I do like to practice and it seems to be paying off. I play a round with few of my friends as often as I can. We have been playing at the Bobcat course in Spring Lake, par is 68 for two rounds on the nine-hole course and for the past couple of weeks I have managed to shoot in the low 80s. Last week I accomplished something I have never done in my 45 years of golfing and that is to get an eagle, more impressive is that I did it on a par 4 hole, 250 yards from the gold tees. My drive was five feet short of the green about 30-35 feet from the pin. I putted hoping to get it close enough to get a birdie and it went in; I shot an 80 that day.
