The club had scheduled a husband-wife mixed fourball and the club’s champion appeared at the par-four first hole with his wife, a notoriously poor player.

He hit a beautiful drive 275 metres down the middle. She hooked the second shot deep into a clump of trees.

Unperturbed, he played a brilliant recovery shot which rolled to within a metre of the pin. She in turn jabbed at the ball and sent it 6 metres past the hole.

Without a a murmur, he lined up the long putt and managed to sink it. As they walked to the second tee he remarked. “we’ll have to do better, that was a bogey 5 you know.”

“Well don’t blame me,” she snarled, “I only took two of them.”
