| GOLFING IN SCOTLAND - AN OVER THE TOP GOLF TALE |
FORT PIERCE, Florida - Golf travel can be fun but one must be prepared for all sorts of weather, especially in a place like Scotland.
John decided to go golfing
in Scotland with his buddy, Keith. So they loaded up John's minivan and headed
north.
After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
'I
realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to
myself, but I'm recently widowed, 'she explained and 'I'm afraid the neighbours
will talk if I let you stay in my house.'
'Don't
worry,' John said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather
breaks, we'll be gone at first light.'
The lady
agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the
night.
Come
morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a
great weekend of golf.
But about
nine months later, John got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him
a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the
attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the golf weekend.
He
dropped in on his friend Keith and asked, 'Keith, do you remember that good-looking
widow from the farm we stayed at on our golf holiday in Scotland about 9 months
ago?'
'Yes, I
do.' said Keith.
'Did you,
er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her
a visit?'
'Well,
um, yes!,' Keith said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit
that I did.'
'And did
you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?'
Keith's
face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I
did.' 'Why do you ask?'
'She just
died and left me everything.'
It just goes to show that, in life, as in golf, honesty is the best policy.
