Posted: 7/17/2006 4:39:44 PM | An Orthodox rabbi lived a pious and exemplary life. Besides his learning, he had one true passion, he loved to play golf. When a friend of his wangled an invitation to play a round at an ultra exclusive Country Club that normally did not invite people of the rabbi's religious persuasion, he jumped at the chance. Until he found out that the round was scheduled for Saturday, which of course is his Sabbath and on which day he was forbidden to do ANY work, including the "work" of playing golf. He tossed and turned with his dilemma, until greed won out, and he duly appeared at the Country Club early Saturday morning.
A passing angel looked down and saw the rabbi getting ready to tee off on the first hole. Profoundly disturbed, the angel flew to God and told him what was about to take place. God said, "Don't worry. I'll teach him a very memorable lesson."
On the first hole the rabbi drove 615 yards for a hole-in-one!
"What kind of a lesson was THAT?" queried the angel.
God's response was, "Who is he going to tell?" | |

In thee olden days in Scotland where the game of "GOLF" originated, women were forbidden to play! Thus the words "Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden" became the name of the game, 1st letters of each word make up G-O-L-F..
I am sorry if you thought that the title meant somethang entirely different my dear.. And I do have to agree with Bobby7's post also.. | |

And yes, it was a good joke... | |
