Betting on Golf




A fellow is getting ready to tee-off on the first hole when a second fellow
approaches and asks if he can join him. The first says that he usually plays
alone, but agrees to let the second guy join him. Both are even after the
first couple of holes.

The second guy says, "Say, we're about evenly matched, how about we play for
a buck a hole?" The first fellow says that he usually plays alone and
doesn't like to bet but agrees to the terms. Well, the second guy wins the
rest of the holes. As they're walking off of the eighteenth hole, and while 
counting his $16.00, he confesses that he's the pro at a neighboring course 
and likes to pick on suckers.  The first fellow reveals that he's the Parish 
Priest at the local Catholic Church, to which the second fellow gets all 
flustered and apologetic and offers to give the Priest back his money. The 
Priest says "No, no. You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with 
you. You keep your winnings."

The pro says, "Well, is there anything I can do to make it up to you? "
The Priest says, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a
donation. Then, if you bring your mother and father by after Mass, I'll
marry them for you."
