Top of the morning from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Vinita, Oklahoma.
A few weeks ago, I reminded you that the Bible says that laughter is good medicine. Today, I offer you some "good medicine" given me by friends who visit our BLOG.
Tommy Bolt was well known as one of the finest pro-golfers in the 1940's and 50's, and for his red-hot temper.
During one tournament Bolt was joined by a caddy who was known around golf circles for his constant chatter. Bolt would tolerate no chatter from the caddy, ordering him not to speak at all unless Bolt asked him a question. Even then the caddy was told that he could answer only with a 'yes' or 'no'.
On one hole Bolt found himself lying next to a tree. Surveying the situation he asked his caddy, "What do you think? Five iron?" "No," said the caddy. "What do you mean not a five-iron," Bolt snarled. "Watch this shot."
Bolt hit the ball placing it within a few feet of the hole. He then turned to his caddy, handed him the five iron, saying "What do you think about that? Go ahead, you can talk now."
"Mr. Bolt," replied the caddy, "that wasn't your ball."
Keep that smile on your face and you'll feel better.
