There was this preacher who was an avid golfer.
Every
chance
he
could
get,
he
could
be
found
on
the
golf
course
swinging
away.
It
was
an
obsession.
One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing.
The
sun
was
out,
no
clouds
in
the
sky,
and
the
temperature
was
just
right.
The
preacher
was
in
a
quandary
as
to
what
to
do,
and
shortly,
the
urge
to
play
golf
overcame
him.
He
called
an
assistant
to
tell
him
that
he
was
sick
and
could
not
do
church,
packed
the
car
up,
and
drove
an hour
to
a
golf
course
where
no
one
would
recognize
him and
he
began
to
play
the
course.
An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to the Lord and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing." The Lord nodded in agreement.
The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to The
Lord
and
said,
"Begging
Your
pardon,
but
I
thought
you
were
going
to
punish
him."
The Lord smiled.
"Think about it -- who can he tell?"
