Reminds me of the foursome composed of a doctor, an attorney, a minister and an accountant who would play every Tuesday morning. One day they got behind a foursome that was taking FOREVER to play. Hole after hole they were spending 30 to 45 minutes per hole. Finally one of the trailing foursome got the attention of a manager and demanded to know why the group ahead was taking so long. The manager apologized and explained they were blind, had been blinded several years earlier when a golf car battery exploded, and the course let them play for free as a nice gesture.

The doctor expressed his apology for being so insensitive and offered to have a fellow eye doc take a look at their injuries.

The account also apologized and asked if he could work with the course accountants to get the course the best tax treatment for their kindness to the disabled.

The pastor expressed an apology and would certainly add the blind golfers to the prayer list at the church where he ministered.

The attorney asked, “Why can’t they play at night?”

There's NO WAY that can be a real story, because no attorney in the entire world has that much common sense. If it said engineer, the story would have far more plausibility.

That's a keeper. My wife works for a large law firm and I had to send it to her.

Actually, for a blind foursome to play 18 holes in only 13-1/2 hours is awesome!
