A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began
his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second.
On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his
cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just
been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the
ICU.
The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that the
he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was
leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. H e
decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital.
He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a
personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating
his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant... Then he
remembered his wife.
Feeling guilty he 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 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
languishing 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 will be her
care giver!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor snickered and said, "Im just fucking with you.
She's dead ......What'd you shoot?"
