Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing
it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring
day, decided he just had to play golf.
So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling
sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day.
As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father
Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty
miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone
he knew from his parish.
Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!
At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord
while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed,
"You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"
The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."
Just then Father Norton hit his tee shot straight down the fairway. It hit the downside of a hill, flew toward the green, rolled up and
fell into the hole.
IT WAS A 375 YARD HOLE IN ONE!
Saint Peter said, "Lord, you weren't supposed to reward him!"
The Lord answered, "I didn't. Who's he gonna tell?"
