A fellow was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that he usually played alone but agreed to the twosome.
They were even after the first two holes and the second fellow said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for $5 a hole?"
The first fellow said he was not much for betting but agreed to the terms. The second fellow won the next 16 holes.
As they walked off the last hole, the second fellow was counting his $80 and confessed that he was the Pro at a neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers.
The first fellow said he was the Parish Priest. The Pro was embarrassed and offered to return the money.
The Priest said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you, keep your winnings."
The Pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
The Priest replied, "Well you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation and if you want to bring your mother and father along, I'll marry them." |
