A Golf Pro at a Country Club is approached by a person who says “I know nothing about playing golf, and would really like to learn, could you teach me?”
“Why certainly”, says the golf Pro. So the next morning they are out on the golf course, and the person says to the golf pro
“what’s the first thing I gotta do?” The golf Pro says, “You see that white flag in the distance. you have to hit this golf ball as far as you can to reach it”, The fellow takes his golf club, and whacks the ball which goes souring thru the air and heads straight for the white flag, landing ten feet from the hole.
The Pro is amazed! “What’s next”, says the fellow. “Well you see that little hole where the white flag is sticking in, — you have to get the ball into the hole”.
“Oh for goodness sakes, why didn’t you tell me that in the first place,” says the student golfer.
