Golfing Buddies

Recommended Posts

Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner. Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going?"

Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?"

Woods replies, "Not too bad. I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that going right now."

Stevie says, "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."

Tiger says, "You play golf?"

Wonder says, "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years."

Woods says, "But you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"

Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy
moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball toward his voice."

"But how do you putt?" asks Woods.

³Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice."

Woods asks, "What's your handicap?"

Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."

Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."

Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."

Woods, thinking he's in for some easy money replies, "OK, I'm up for that. When would you like to play?"

Stevie says, "Pick a night"

Another good one from Beezy. Thanks, and keep 'em coming. I would like to add a historical note to this story. There actually was a great blind golfer name Charlie Boswell who lived in Birmingham, AL some years ago. He had never played golf until after he lost his sight in WWII, but he went on to become a champion. Word is, when he met Ben Hogan, they had almost this same conversation.
