The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Ariel Sharon, the leader of Israel.
"Your holiness," said one of the Cardinals, "Mr. Sharon wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are superior, by challenging you to a golf match."
The Pope was greatly disturbed, as he had never held a golf club in his life.
"Not to worry," said the Cardinal, "we'll call America and talk to Jack Nicklaus. We'll make him a Cardinal, he can play Ariel Sharon ... we can't lose!"
Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made and, of course, Jack was honored and agreed to play. The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of the result of the match.
"I came in second, your Holiness," said Nicklaus.
"Second?!" exclaimed the surprised Pope. "You came in second to Ariel Sharon?!"
"No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Woods."
On the Ladies Tee!
It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Pete was beginning his pre shot routine.
As he was visualizing his upcoming shot, a voice came over the loudspeaker, "Would the gentleman on the ladies tee please back up to the men's tee, please!"
Pete was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement, "Would the man on the women's tee kindly back up to the men's tee!"
Pete had had enough.
He yelled, "Would the announcer in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot!"
