A Game of Honor


Golf is known as a game of honor where you call penalties on yourself - so they say. With the Masters Tournament beginning this week I thought I would share with you the most recent golf story heard - although I must warn you it was told in the locker room. (I have sanitized the punchline) It concerns two friends - Frank and Ernest - playing a competitive round as a twosome with the usual bets on the line. They came to the 18th tee all tied  - Frank hit his drive down the middle - Ernie sliced his and landed in the woods. They both went to try to find Ernie's ball. After several futile minutes Ernie suggested that his friend play his second shot and if he (Ernie) couldn't locate his ball he would return to the tee and re-hit. Frank's approach landed on the green fifteen feet from the pin. Just then a ball came flying out of the woods and landed on the green five feet from the pin. Now Frank had a dilemma  - should he take the cheater's ball out of his pocket???
