A new member had been accepted at a golf club
near London. He boasted a lot to the club president
and told him about his incredible golfing successes.
So the president took him to the course and asked
him to show off his extraordinary skills. Of course,
the guy played terribly, digging into the ground
with his club instead of hitting the balls, and he
couldn’t even hit a hole once. It was obvious that
he didn’t have the slightest idea about the sport
. At the end, however, he asked:
So, what do you think about my playing?
“Well,” the club president replied politely,
“it’s very interesting, but I don’t think it’ll replace golf.”
