Stevie Wonder and
Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to Wonder and says, "How is the
singing career going?"
Stevie Wonder
says, "Not too bad, the latest album has gone into the top 10, so all in
all I think it is pretty good. By the way how is the golf?"
Nicklaus replies:
"Not too bad, I am not winning as much as I used to but I'm still making a
bit of money. I have some problems with my swing but I think I've got that
right now."
"I always
find that when my swing goes wrong I need to stop playing for a while and think
about it, then the next time I play it seems to be all right," says
Stevie.
"You play
golf!?" asks Jack.
Stevie says,
"Yes, I have been playing for years."
"But I
thought you were blind; how can you play golf if you are blind?" Jack
asks.
“I get my caddie
to stand in the middle of the fairway and he calls to me. I listen for the
sound of his voice and play the ball towards him, then when I get to where the
ball lands the caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again
I play the ball towards his voice," explains Stevie.
"But how do
you putt?" Nicklaus wondered.
"Well,"
says Stevie, "I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call
to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball to the sound of his
voice."
Nicklaus says,
"What is your handicap?"
"Well, I play
off scratch," Stevie assures Jack.
Nicklaus is
incredulous and says to Stevie, "We must play a game sometime."
Wonder replies,
"Well, people don't take me seriously so I only play for money, and I
never play for less than $100,000 a hole."
Nicklaus thinks it
over and says, "OK, I'm up for that. When would you like to play?"
"I don't care
- any night next week is OK with me."
