A fellow was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second
golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that
he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome.
They were even after the first few holes. The second chap said, "We're
about evenly matched, how about playing for five quid a hole?"
The first chap said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the
terms.
The second chap won the remaining sixteen holes with ease.
As they were walking off number eighteen, the second chap was busy
counting his £80.00. He confessed that he was the pro at a
neighbouring course and liked to pick on suckers.
The first fellow revealed that he was the local vicar.
The pro was flustered and apologetic, offering to return the money.
The vicar said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with
you. You keep your winnings."
The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
The vicar said, "Well, you could come to Church on Sunday and make a
donation. And, if you want to bring your mother and father along,
I'll
happy to marry them."
