A golf pro dragged himself into the clubhouse
looking as though he’d just escaped a tornado.
“What’s wrong?” a woman asked.
“I just lost a game to Houlihan,” the pro said.
“What? But Houlihan’s the worst player I’ve ever
seen. How could he have beaten you?”
“He tricked me,” the pro said. “On the first tee, he asked for
a handicap. I told him he could have 30, 40, 50 strokes- any
handicap he wanted.
He said, ‘Just give me two gotchas.”
“What’s a gotcha?” asked the woman. “That’s what I wanted
to know,” the pro said. “Houlihan said, ‘You’ll see.’ Then, as I
was teeing off, just as I had my club poised, he screamed out
‘Gotcha!’”
“I can guess what happened,” the woman said.
“Sure,” the pro said. “The scream threw me off, and I missed the
ball completely.”
“Understandable,” the woman said. “But still, that’s only one
swing. How did he win the game?”
The pro answered, “You try swinging at a golf ball all day while
waiting for that second ‘gotcha!’
I tried that thing today at the gas station where
