Hole in One
The Reverend Francis Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing
it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just
had to play golf. So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick
and convinced him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate
Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course
about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet
anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone.
After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church! At about
this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the
heavens and exclaimed,
"You're not going to let him get away with this, are
you?"
The Lord sighed, and said,
"No, I guess not."
Just then Father Norton
hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it,
rolled up and fell into the hole. It WAS A 420-YARD HOLE IN ONE! St.
Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked,
"Why did you let
him do that?"
The Lord smiled and replied,
"Who's he going to tell?"
