As it’s a Sunday, this might be relevant……
A fella once was struggling to believe in the whole concept of God and Heaven.
He went to church every Sunday as his Mrs was a devout Christian and he thought he should do the good thing and go with her.
Every Sunday he would sit through service struggling to get his head around the whole concept of a big man upstairs looking over everything we do.
Then one Sunday he had a brain wave.
Rather than ask the vicar outright if heaven and God actually existed, he would ask him if there was a golf course in heaven.
He figured that if heaven was the place that everyone made it out to be, then there must be a golf course up there.
So one Sunday after service he sidled up to the vicar on his way out and asked “Vicar, when you pray to God this week, could you pray for me”
“Of course” replied the vicar, “what’s troubling you”,
Our fella told the vicar “nothing much really, I just wondered if they have any golf courses in heaven”
The vicar chuckled and assured our man that they did, but that he would indeed check with the almighty the next time he called home.
A week passed and the following Sunday our man was getting ready to leave church and almost forgot to ask the vicar about his prayers that week, and if indeed a golf course existed at all in heaven.
“Vicar, good morning. Did you manage to have a chat with the big fella upstairs? Is there a golf course up there?”
“I did” the replied the vicar “and I have good news and bad news.”
“Oh really, what’s that, do tell”
“Well” started the vicar “they do have golf courses in heaven, in fact they have many a golf course up there, some of the finest golf courses you will ever see.” “Golf courses with emerald green fairways that make Augusta National look like the local council track”
“Really” replied the man.
“ Yep, they also have the best greens you will see anywhere, the finest and truest of putting surfaces so you can make everything and anything you look at”
“Oh my God, that sounds amazing” Our man was starting to salivate at the very thought of it.
“That’s right” said the vicar, “they also have free range balls, the best practice facilities you could ever imagine, you can play whenever you want and they definitely don’t allow slow play”
“Better yet, they have the best looking girls in the half way house, free food and beer after you play”
Our fella then looked at the vicar in a kind of quizzical way and the vicar said “but what’s the matter my son, none of that interest you”?
“Well it does” came the reply from the god questioning man, “But I thought you said you had good news and bad news, so what’s the bad news”.
“Ah yes” came the answer from the vicar, “ I do have good news and bad news and that was the good news”
“So what’s the bad news”
“Well it turns out your due on the first tee next Saturday at 9.30 am”.
