Playing Blind

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

 

Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to

Wonder and says, "How is the singing career going?"

 

Stevie Wonder says, "Not too bad, the latest album has gone into

the top 10, so all in all I think it is pretty good. By the way how

is the golf."

 

Nicklaus replies: "Not too bad, I am not winning as much as I used

to but I/m still making a bit of money. I have some problems with my

swing but I think I've got that right now."

 

"I always find that when my swing goes wrong I need to stop playing

for a while and think about it, then the next time I play it seems

to be all right," says Stevie.

 

"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."
