One night John was in bed asleep after having played 36-holes of golf that day. He dreamed of replaying every shot. Suddenly his dream was interrupted by the appearance of an angel standing at the foot of his bed.
"As you know, John, you're getting on in years and you don't have as much time left on earth as you once did,” the angel said. I can answer questions you might have about the hereafter. You do believe in the hereafter, don't you, John?"
"As a matter of fact, I do," answered John. "I've often wondered if there are any golf courses in heaven. Can you answer that question for me?"
"Yes, John, I have the answer to your question. But before I tell you, I have to advise that the answer is in two parts, good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"
"I suppose give me the good news first," responded John.
"Okay, the good news is there are golf courses in heaven. All the courses have been designed by Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. There are no greens fees and electric carts are provided at no charge. You have the choice of any brand of clubs you desire. The greens are always freshly mowed, the sand traps freshly raked, the roughs aren't too high and you never lose a ball in the water for the balls float. When you hit a ball into the woods they always ricochet back into the middle of the fairway. And on every par-3 hole you will score a hole-in-one.”
"Oh, that sounds wonderful. With all that good news what could the bad news possibly be?" John wondered aloud.
"The bad news is you have a nine o'clock tee time tomorrow morning."
