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 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. He decided to get in a couple of more holes before
heading to the hospital.
He ended up playing all eighteen of course, 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'll be her 24/7 caregiver!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor snickered and said, "I'm just messing with ya. She's dead.
What'd you shoot?"
