Golf Joke: Gotcha!

Thaddeus was an 11-handicapper, but one day he walked up to his club pro, a professional who routinely broke par, and challenged him to a match. Thad even suggested they wager $100 on the outcome — and he didn't ask for any strokes.

"But," Thaddeus said to the pro, "since you're so much better than me, you have to give me two 'gotchas'."

"A 'gotcha'?" the golf pro asked, "What's a 'gotcha'?"

"Don't worry," Thaddeus replied, "I'll use one of my 'gotchas' on the first tee and you'll understand."

The golf pro figured that whatever 'gotchas' were, giving up only two of them was no big deal — especially if one had to be used on the first tee. So he agreed to the bet, and the pro and Thaddeus headed to the first tee to start their match.

Around four hours later, club members were amazed to see the pro counting out $100 and handing it to his opponent. Thad had beaten the pro!

The club members waited for the pro to enter the clubhouse, then asked him what happened.

"Well," the pro said, "I took the club back on the first tee, and as I started my downswing, Thaddeus knelt behind me, reached up between my legs and grabbed my balls, and yelled 'Gotcha!'"

The club pro just shook his head. "Have you ever tried to play 18 holes waiting for the second 'gotcha'?"
