It seems a preacher woke up
on a Sunday morning, a beautiful morning for golf, and decided to call in sick
to the president of the church council. So that he wouldn't be seen, he drove
40 miles to unfamiliar country and registered to play a round of gold. Since
everyone in that neck of the woods went to church, he was alone at his tee
time, but that was perfectly all right with this preacher who was seeking
anonymity.
As he lined up his first shot, St. Peter leaned over to God and said, "Say,
you're not going to let him get away with this are you?"
God sighed and responded, "I guess not." Just then the preacher
smacked the ball and it took off in supersonic flight, lifting up straight and
true and with distance. It landed 400 yards later, bounced, dribbled and then
rolled onto the green, across it and into the cup for a 430-yard hole-in-one. St. Peter turned and looked at God,
"That's what you call justice? That's divine retribution?” With a twinkle
in His eye, God answered, "Who is he going to tell?"
