Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Stevie mentions that
they ought to get together and play a few holes.
"You play
golf!?" asks Jack.
Stevie says, "Yes, I have been playing for
years."
"But I thought you were blind; how can you play golf if
you are blind?" Jack asks.
" I get my caddie to stand in the
middle of the fairway and he calls to me. I listen for the sound of his voice
and play the ball towards him, then when I get to where the ball lands the
caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again I play
the ball towards his voice,"
explains Stevie.
"But how
do you putt?" Nicklaus wondered.
"Well," says Stevie,
"I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with
his head on the ground and I just play the ball to the sound of his
voice."
Nicklaus says, "What is your
handicap?"
"Well, I play off scratch," Stevie assures
Jack. Nicklaus is incredulous and says to Stevie, "We must play a
game sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don`t take me
seriously so I only play for money, and I never play for less than $100,000
a hole."
Nicklaus thinks it over and says, "OK, I`m up for
that. When would you like to play?"
"I don`t care -
any night next week is OK with me."
