Yeah, that Stevie Wonder is quite the athlete.....
Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career coming along?" Stevie Wonder says, "Not too bad. The latest album has gone into the top ten, so all in all I guess I can't complain. How about you, how's golf treating you?" Nicklaus replies, "Not too bad. I'm not winning as much as I used to, but I'm still making quite a bit of money. I've been having some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that beat now." "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I'm best to walk away from the game for a while and just think about what I'm doing, and visualize how it should feel. The next time out it's always much better," says Stevie. "You play golf!?" asks Jack. Stevie says, "Sure, I've been playing for years." "But I thought you were blind; how can you play golf if you're blind?" Nicklaus asks. "I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the balls towards it. Then when I get to where the ball has landed, the caddie moves farther down the fairway, or onto the green, and again I hit 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's your handicap?" "Frankly, I play scratch," Stevie assures Jack. Nicklaus is incredulous and says to Stevie "We must play a game some time." Wonder replies, "Well people don't take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never for less than $100,000 a hole." Nicklaus thinks it over for a moment and says, "Okay, I'm game for that. When would you like to play?" "I don't care - any night next week is fine with me." |
