A golfer went to see his doctor. He was suffering from major stress
syndrome. The doctor asked him if he played golf, to which the golfer
replied "I play at it, it`s a very frustrating game, but I love it".
The doctor told him that the next time he played, he should use an
imaginary ball. The golfer was a little embarrassed, but he decided
to give it a try.
So he went out on a week day so his normal golfing buddies wouldn`t
see him, and proceeded to tee up an imaginary ball. Lo and behold, he
birdied the first hole! He was playing the best game he had ever
played, with birdie or eagle on every hole, as he approached the 9th
green. Another single gentleman had been playing ahead of him and
watching this game with much curiosity.
The second golfer waited before he teed off on the 10th hole and
asked the first golfer if he would like to join him. They did, and as
they played the 10th hole, the second golfer asked him what he was
doing.
The first golfer explained that his doctor had told him to play a
round of golf with an imaginary ball to relieve his stress, and it
was working. Well, of course, the second golfer said he had stress
and asked if it would be all right to play with an imaginary ball
also. The first golfer said "Sure!".
They now approach the 18th hole, short par 4, and both men are tied
to this point in their round. The second golfer teed his imaginary
ball, took a stroke, and started jumping up and down shouting, "Ace!
I win!". The first golfer only turned to him, smiled, and said "No, I
won. That was my ball."
