Sunday Golfing.......
Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionallybeautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.So.. he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded himtosay Mass for him that day.As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out oftown to a golf course about forty miles away.
This way he knew he wouldn'taccidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on the firsttee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else wasinchurch!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 lethim do that?"The Lord smiled and replied,"Who's he going to tell?" |
