After a particularly poor game of golf, a popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?"©OFFICEJOKES.NET

"Yes," the golfer responded.©OFFICEJOKES.NET

"Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?" the cop asked.©OFFICEJOKES.NET

"Yes, I did. How did you know?" the golfer asked.©OFFICEJOKES.NET

"Well," said the policeman very seriously, "Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?"©OFFICEJOKES.NET

The golfer thought it over carefully and responded, "I think I'll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb."
