Tiger Woods and Stevie Wonder Play Golf
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a restaurant having dinner.
Woods turns to Wonder and says, "How's the singing career going"? Stevie Wonder replies, "Not too bad. How's your golf"?
Woods replies, "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I think I've got that going right now."
Stevie says, "I always find that when my golf swing goes wrong,
I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it.
Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."
Tiger says, "You play golf?" Wonder says, "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years." Woods says,
"But you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"
Wonder replies, "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the
fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball toward him. Then,
when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again,
I play the ball toward his voice."
"But how do you putt?" asks Woods.
"Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down infront of the hole and call
to me with his head on the ground, and I just play the ball toward his voice."
Woods asks, "What's your handicap"?
Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods, incredulous, says, "We've got to play around sometime."
Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously,
so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a
hole."
Woods thinks it over and says, "Okay, I'm all for that.
When would you like to play"?
Stevie says, "Pick a night...any night!"

(CBS) LEHIGHTON, Pa. Sheila Drummond didn't need to see her hole-in-one. She heard it.
Drummond, blinded by diabetes 26 years ago, experienced the highlight of her golfing career Sunday, recording an ace on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Mahoning Valley Country Club.
Playing with her husband and coach, Keith, and two friends in a steady rain, the 53-year-old Drummond hit a driver on the hole. The shot cleared a water hazard, flew between traps and landed on the green, where it hit the flagstick before dropping into the hole.
"They were saying, 'It's a great shot,' and then I heard it hit the pin," Drummond said.
"For a hole-in-one, you have to hit it onto the green, so it's a little bit of skill and a lot of luck."
In 1999, Golf Digest said the odds of an amateur getting a hole-in-one are 1 in 12,750. That number, no doubt rises, for a blind golfer.
Drummond is a member of the board of directors of the United States Blind Golfers Association, and the organization believes she is the first totally blind female to record a hole-in-one.
"We've looked everywhere, and haven't been able to find anyone else," she said.
Drummond took up golf about 15 years ago, and three years later qualified as the first female member of the USGBA.
"I just try to do the best I can," said Drummond, who carries a 48 handicap with the USGBA. "I get nervous.
"But I wasn't nervous (Sunday), I just don't like playing in the rain."0 -
