A golfer sends his ball into the trees. As he tries to bring the ball back to the fairway, he discovers a gap among the trees. With his wooden club, he tries to hit the ball to the green in his second hit. However, the ball hits a tree, bounces back and lands in the golfer's face. He dies on the spot.
At the heavenly gate, St Peter asks the golfer about his activities back on earth. When he hears that the man used to play golf, St Peter, with seeming interest, asks, "And were you any good at it?" "You could say that," the deceased smiles. "I made it here in two strokes." |
