The Golfing Preacher.

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance
he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging
away. It was an obsession.

One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun
was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just
right. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and
shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an
assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church,
packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course
where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to
play the course.

An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite
perturbed. He went to the Lord and said, 

"Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."

The Lord nodded in agreement.

The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the
ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed
right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away.
A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to The Lord

"Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him."

The Lord smiled. 

"Think about it, who can he tell?"
