Golf Joke...
All Ages....
As a young man, Norton was an exceptional golfer. At the age
of 26, however, he decided to become a priest, and joined a
rather peculiar order. He took the usual vows of poverty,
chastity, but his order also required that he quit golf and
never play again. This was particularly difficult for Norton,
but he agreed and was finally ordained a priest.
One Sunday morning, the Reverend Father Norton woke up 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 convinced 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 is he going to tell?"

My all time fave golf joke:

Having been there a few weeks and getting to know the faces, he spots a rather crusty looking old gent and recognises him as a Colonel from his old regiment. Tommy didn't have the best of times serving under him but decides to let bygones be bygones and approaches the old duffer.
"Remember me?" he says to the gent, who turns to look at him.
"Ah Smith" says the officer. "Didn't know you played. Have you joined as a Town or a Country member?"
Tommy informs him of his Town membership.
"Ah well, there you are you see, I'm a Country member".
"Yes" says Tommy. "I remember"!
