A retiree was given a set of golf clubs by his co-workers. Thinking he'd
give the game a try, he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining that he
knew nothing whatsoever about golf.
The pro showed him the stance and swing, and then said, "Just hit the
ball toward the flag on the first green."
The novice teed up and smacked the ball straight down the fairway and
onto the green, where it stopped inches from the hole.
"Now what?" the fellow asked the speechless pro.
"Uh... you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup," the pro finally said,
once he regained his ability to speak.
