"Golf & Prayer"

"Golf & Prayer Anecdote" Submitted by BBFI Missionary to KenyaJerry Daniels

A man of the cloth had earned a vacation from his flock and he decided to make it a golfing holiday. He went to a golfing resort, and on his first day out on the course he learned that Arnold Palmer played the course frequently.

The toughest hole was the 17th, and as the clergyman approached the tee his caddie said, "When Arnold Palmer plays this hole he uses a No. 3 iron and says a little prayer."

"I'll give it a try," said the clergyman. But the ball landed in a sand trap. "Ah, well," he said, "I guess the good Lord didn't hear me."

"He probably heard you," said the caddie, "but when Mr.. Palmer says his prayer, he keeps his head down."
