Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to
Wonder and says: "How is the singing career going?"
Stevie Wonder says: "Not too bad, the latest album has gone into the
top 10 so all in all I think it is pretty good. By the way how's the
golf."
Nicklaus replies: "Not too bad, I am not winning as much as I used to
but I am still making a bit of money. I have had some problems with my
swing but I think I have got that right now."
Stevie Wonder says: "I always find that when my 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 alright."
Jack Nicklaus says: "You play golf!"
Stevie Wonder says: "Yes, I have been playing for years."
And Nicklaus says: "But I thought you were blind, how can you play
golf if you are blind?"
He replies: "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and
he calls to me, I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball
towards him, then when I get to where the ball lands the caddy moves to
the green or further down the fairway and again I play the ball towards
his voice."
"But how do you putt", says Nicklaus.
"Well", says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the hole
and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball
towards his voice."
Nicklaus says: "What is your handicap."
Stevie says "Well I play off scratch."
Nicklaus is incredulous and he says to Stevie Wonder: "We must play a
game sometime."
Wonder replies: "Well people don't take me seriously so I only ever
play for money, and actually I never play for less than $100,000 a
hole."
Nicklaus thinks about it and says "O.K. I am game for that, when would
you like to play."
Stevie Wonder turns around and says "I don't mind, any night suits me."
