SKIPPING CHURCH: Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church! At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?" The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not." Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE! St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?" The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell?" PEACE BE WITH YOU!!
Never had ONE Always a play/drama / story / etc. Must of been in the different place of all time .. PLZ , let it happen B4 I croke !! Sloth
That's a great story. I worked for a ski area that owned a golf course as well,and oft times we as employees were allowed to play on the course for free however the method of play had nothing to do with keeping score we just had fun . for us it was very relaxing . Viewing others that play take it quite seriously however, and what surprised me was the CEO of the company would play but took it so seriously that a missed drive on the first hole and sent the $300. 1iron(Titanium) into the tall pine trees not to be recovered . It seems to me that if your there to relax , don't keep score. Play. loose a few cheap balls find a few, Play.
