After a particularly poor game of golf, a popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home.As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car,a policeman stopped him and asked,"Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?"
"Yes," the golfer responded.
"Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?"
"Yes, I did.How did you know?" he asked.
"Well," said the policeman very seriously,"Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield.The car went out of control,crashing into five other cars and a fire truck.The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire,and the building burned down.So,what are you going to do about it?"
The golfer thought it over carefully and responded... "I think I'll close my stance a little bit,tighten my grip and lower my right thumb."

O'Brien kept nudging Cohen to let him play at his Jewish Country Club. Cohen told him that only Jews could play golf there. He drove him crazy for months and he finally gave in but warned him that if anyone asked, his name was Goldberg. If asked what his occupation was, he was a manufacturer. O'Brien asked what kind of a manufacturer should he be and he told him to say that he made tallises (talleism=prayer shawls).
Sure enough, they play 18 holes, go to the steam room and he's approached by one of the members. He said that he hadn't seen him at the club before and asked his name.
He replied,"My name is Goldberg."
"What do you do for a living, Mr. Goldberg?"
He replies, "I'm a manufacturer."
"What do you manufacture?"
"I make tallises."
"You know, I always wanted to know what the Hebrew letters around the neck of the tallis meant. Can you tell me?"
O'Brien replied, "To tell the truth... I only make the sleeves."

WORLD'S BEST GAME:
Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and people who don't even play go to tournaments or watch it on TV? These truisms may shed light on reasons why:
1. Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players being honorable people who don't need referees.
2. Golfers don't have some of their players in jail every week.
3. Golfers don't scratch their privates on the golf course.
4. Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people.
5. Professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how well they play.
6. Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight when they travel between tournaments.
7. Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts, because of another player's deal.
8. Professional golfers don't demand that the taxpayers pay for the courses on which they play.
9. When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them or back them up The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the National Football League does in two.
10. You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any tournament, including the majors, all day, every day for $25 or $30. The cost for a seat in the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will cost around $300 or more.
11. You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course, watch the best in the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink. Try that at one of the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadiums.
12. In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season, like the best baseball hitters (. 300 batting average) do.
13. Golf doesn't change its rules to attract Fans.
14. Golfers have to adapt to an entirely new playing area each week.
15. Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.
16. Golf doesn't have free agency.
17. In their prime, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and other stars, would shake your hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime Jose Canseco wore T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone."
18. You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a tournament.
19. Ladies are welcome players.
20. At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer-funded sports stadiums and arenas) you won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name calling while you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.
21. Tiger Woods can hit a golf ball three times as far as Barry Bonds can hit a baseball.
22. Golf Courses don't ruin the neighborhood.
