Ärende: Golf Handicap
=====================
A businessman was attending a conference in Africa. He had a free day=20
and wanted to play a round of golf. He was directed to a golf course in=20
the nearby jungle. After a short journey, he arrived at the course and=20
asked the pro if he could to play.
=20
"Sure," said the Pro, " But what's your handicap?"
=20
Not wanting to admit that he had an 18 handicap, he decided to cut it a=20
bit. "Well, it's 16," said the businessman, "But what's the relevance=20
since I'll be playing alone."
=20
"No, it's very important for us to know," said the pro who then called a=
=20
caddy. "Go out with this gentleman," said the Pro, "his handicap is 16."=
=20
The businessman was very surprised at this constant reference to his=20
handicap. The caddy picked up the businessman's bag and a large rifle;=20
again the businessman was surprised but decided to ask no questions.
=20
They arrived on the 1st hole, a par 4. "Please avoid those trees on the=20
left," said the caddy. Needless to say, the businessman duck-hooked his=20
ball into the trees. He found his ball and was about to punch it out=20
when he heard the loud crack of the rifle and a large snake fell dead=20
from a tree above his head. The caddy stood next to him with the rifle=20
smoking in his hand. "That's the mamba, the most poisonous snake in all=20
Africa; you're lucky I was here with you."
=20
After taking a bogey on the hole, they moved to the 2nd, a par 5. "Avoid=
=20
those bushes on the right," says the caddy. Of course, the businessman's=
=20
ball went slicing away into the bushes. As he went to pick up his ball,=20
he heard the loud crack of the caddy's rifle once more and a huge lion=20
fell dead at his feet. "I've saved your life again," said the caddy.
=20
The 3rd hole was a par 3 with a lake in front of the green. The=20
businessman's ball came up just short of the green and rolled back to=20
the edge of the water. To take a shot, he had to stand with one foot in=20
the lake. As he was about to swing, a large crocodile emerged from the=20
water and bit off much of his right leg. As he fell to the ground=20
bleeding and in great pain, he saw the caddy with the rifle propped at=20
his side, looking on unconcernedly.
=20
"Why didn't you shoot it?" asked the man incredulously.
=20
"I'm sorry, sir," said the caddy, "this is the 17th handicap hole, you=20
don't get a shot here."
