The Golf Beginner

A retiree was given a set of golf clubs by his co-workers. Thinking he’d try the game, he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining that he knew nothing whatsoever about the game.

“Well, you’re supposed to hit the ball into the cup,” the pro sheepishly said.

“Oh great!” exclaimed the beginner. “NOW you tell me!”
