Tragic(?) Golf Story

A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. 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 terrible accident and was in critical condition 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 his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple more holes before heading to the hospital.

He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round, shooting a personal best 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. He saw the doctor in the corridor and 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! While you were out enjoying yourself at the country club, your wife has been suffering in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will likely be your last! She will require 'round the clock care and unless you can afford three shifts of nurses for the rest of her life, you'll be her care giver!"

The man was feeling so distraught he broke down and sobbed.

The doctor snickered and said, "Just messing with you. She's dead. What'd you shoot?"

I wasn't sure at first if I thought this was funny. Then I reversed the story, where the wife was playing golf.... and y'know, it's hilarious!
