He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second.



On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang... It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a car accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.



The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible. 

 

As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be the best round of golf he had ever played in his life.



Consequently, he decided to get in a couple of more holes before dashing off to the hospital. 

 

But instead of a couple, he ended up playing all eighteen holes. 

 

He ended up shooting a personal best of 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. 

 

He was jubilant!!....Then he remembered his wife.



Feeling guilty he raced to the hospital where he saw the doctor in the corridor and then breathlessly asked about his wife's condition.



The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your round of golf, didn't you! 

 

I hope you're proud of yourself, yyyeeeww bastard! 

 

While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country club, your wife has been languishing in the ICU! 

 

It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will most certainly be your last! 

 

For the rest of her life your wife will require round the clock care and you will be her care giver! 

 

She will need IV's; you will have to change her colostomy bag every 3 hours; she will have to be spoon fed 3 times a day and don't forget the hygiene care."



The man broke down and sobbed into his hands.



The doctor chuckled, slapped him on the back and said, "I'm just playing with you. She's dead. What'd you shoot?"
