The best round of golf, EVER.
A man was at the golf club for his weekly round of golf.
He began his round with an eagle on the first hole,
and birdie on the second and third hole.
On the fourth hole he scored his best ever hole-in-one
and then his cell phone started ringing.
When he picked up the phone it turned out it was a doctor
in the emergency room telling him that his wife
had just been in a big accident, and that she was in a critical
condition in the ICU of the hospital.
The man said to the doctor to tell his wife where he was,
and that he would be there as soon as possible.
After he hung up, he came to realize that he was cutting short
what was possibly going to be his best round of golf ever.
So after some time of thinking he decided to rush in a couple
of more holes before heading to the hospital.
He ended up playing all eighteen holes,
finishing his round with a personal best 62,
shattering the club record by five strokes
and beating his own previous best by more than 9.
He was over the moon of pride and joy.
Suddenly, he remembered that his poor wife was in the ICU,
a massive guilt trip struck him, so he packed his clubs
and rushed to the hospital.
When he finally arrived at the hospital, he rushed up to
the doctor, who was standing impatiently in the corridor
of the ICU, and asked about the condition of his wife.
The doctor glared at him and started shouting,
"You heartless bastard, you went ahead and finished
your round of golf, didn't you?"
Being very ashamed, the man confessed to the doctor
that he had.
"Well mister, I hope you are very proud of yourself then,
because while you were out enjoying yourself for the
past 4 hours at the golf club, your poor wife has been
fighting for her life in the ICU."
The doctor paused for a while, "On the other hand,
I guess that it's just as well that you went ahead and
finished your round, because I think that more than
likely it was to be the last one you ever played."
"Why, what do you mean?" the man asked, with tears
streaming down from his eyes."
"Well, because for the rest of her life, your wife will
require 24 hour 'round the clock care from you.
She won't be able to eat on her own, move by herself,
or even speak. Furthermore, she won't be able to
control her bladder or bowel movements anymore,
so, you my dear sir, will have to be her 24/7 caregiver,
for the next 20 or 30 years or so!"
The man was totally beside himself with guilt and grief,
so, he totally broke down and started sobbing uncontrollably.
The doctor looked down at the devastated man, and his scowl
turned into a big grin.
"Hey man, chill out dude," the doctor laughed,
"I was just screwing around with you.
She died three hours ago.
So, what did you shoot?"
