A man was at the local golf club for his weekly round of golf. He
began his round with an eagle on the first hole and followed that up
with an incredible birdie on the second.On the third hole he had just
scored his first ever hole-in-one when his mobile phone rang.
It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just had a major
stroke and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The
man told the doctor he was having an amazing start to his round
and that he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he
realized he was about to leave what was shaping up to be his best
ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple of more holes while
he was still running so hot before heading to the hospital.
As it happened he ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his
round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by two
strokes and beating his previous best game by 10!. He was beside
himself with joy ...then he remembered his wife. He instantly felt an
awful guilt overcome him, so he immediatley dashed to the hospital.
He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's
condition.The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You selfish bastard!
You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn't you! I hope
you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours
enjoying yourself at the country club your wife has been battling the
odds in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished that
round because it will be more than likely your last! For the rest of
her life she will require round the clock care.And you'll have to be
her care-giver!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor couldn't hold back a snigger. He said, "Just kidding.
She died an hour ago. What'd you end up shooting?"
