Tiger Woods was having a c**ktail with Stevie Wonder after having heard him play at a country club where a golf tournament was in progress. Woods inquired of Wonder, "How is your singing career going?" Stevie Wonder replied: "Not too bad! How's the golf?" Woods replies: "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that right now." Stevie Wonder says: "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right.
Tiger Woods, incredulous, asks, "You play golf?" Stevie Wonder proudly responds "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years." Tiger says: "But, you're blind. How can you play golf if you're blind?" Wonder replies: "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him.
Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice." "But, how do you putt?", asks Tiger. "Well, " says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball towards his voice." Woods then asks: "What's your handicap?" Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer.
" Woods, incredulous, remarks to Stevie: "We've got to play a round sometime.
" Wonder answers, "Well, most people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than 10, 000 a hole.
" Woods thinks about it for a second and says, "OK, that's a bit steep but I'm game for that, when would you like to play?" Stevie smiles and says, "Pick any night next week." |
