A recent retiree was given a set of golf clubs as a farewell gift from his co-workers, so he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining that he knew nothing about the game.

The novice swung awkwardly but smacked the ball straight dodwn the fairway and onto the green, where it stopped just inches from the hole. "Now what?" the fellow asked the shocked pro. "Uh...you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup," the pro stammered. "Oh great!" exclaimed the beginner. "Now you tell me!"
