He asked at his hotel for the nearest golf course, was put in a cab, and spent two hours being driven deeper and deeper into the jungle until he arrived at a course. He checked in with the pro and asked to rent some equipment and, since he’d never played the course before, for a caddy. In a few minutes, he was escorted to the first tee, where his caddy was waiting with a bagful of clubs under one arm and a rifle under the other. The golfer was taken aback, but composed himself and hit a good drive down the fairway of the opening hole, a tough par four. As they were walking to his ball, a tiger sprang out of the rough and charged the golfer. Without missing a beat, the caddy dropped the bag, aimed his rifle, and shot the animal dead. Again, the golfer had to compose himself, taking a minute to catch his breath. But he quickly recovered, hit a good approach, and parred the hole. The same thing happened on the second hole, a long, twisting par five. But this time it was a lion that bolted out of the jungle, charged the golfer, and was dropped by a single shot from the caddie’s rifle. By now the golfer was visibly shaken, but the caddy looked unflappable - and obviously was a good shot - so they played on. The third hole was an easy par three surrounded by water. The golfer hit a good short iron, which landed near the cup. As he was walking onto the green, a crocodile slid out of the water and began moving toward him. Unfazed, the golfer looked to his caddy for help. But the caddie stood motionless. The crocodile moved closer, and the golfer, beginning to get upset, again glanced at the caddy, who didn’t move. Finally, with the crocodile just inches away, the golfer screamed, “Aren’t you going to do something?” The caddy looked at the scorecard and said, “I’m sorry, sir, but you don’t get a shot on this hole.” 9 | YOURCADDY MAG - ISSUE 04
