A man arrives at the golf course bright and early and starts his round with an eagle, followed by a birdie, and then a hole-in-one on the third hole.
Right then his phone rings. It’s the hospital calling to tell him there has been a horrible accident, his wife is in critical condition, and he should get there immediately.
Quite stunned, he says he will head there right away.
But then he looks at his scorecard and thinks, ‘I may never play like this again.’
So he plays a few more holes, then a few more, and ultimately finishes all eighteen.
He ends with a career best 61 - shattering the club’s course record.
When he finally gets to the hospital, the doctor glares at him and says, “Your wife has been in here fighting for her life for three hours - while you were out playing golf?”
The man collapses in deep guilt.
The doctor pauses, then smirks, and says, “Relax man, I’m just messing with you. She died three hours ago. So, what’d you shoot?”
