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 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. He decided to get in a
couple of more holes before heading to the hospital.
He ended up finishing
all eighteen. He finished 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! Its 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
care giver!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor started to snicker and said,
"Just kidding! She died more than two hours ago. What'd you shoot?"
