[Guest guest]

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every

chance he could get, he could be found on the golf

course swinging away. It was an obsession.

One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The

sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature

was just right. The preacher was in a quandary as to

what to do, and shortly, the urge to play golf

overcame him. He called an assistant to tell him that

he was sick and could not do church, packed the car

up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no

one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the

course.

An angel up above was watching the preacher and was

quite perturbed. He went to God and said, " Look at the

preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing. "

God nodded in agreement.

The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at

the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air

and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty

yards away. A picture perfect DOUBLE EAGLE! He was

amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and

said, " Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were

going to punish him. "

God smiled. " Think about it -- who can he tell? "
