Father Morrissey wakes up one beautiful morning and decides to bunk off church and play golf instead. He convinces another vicar of his illness and gets him to deliver the sermon, then goes off to the course, praying he won’t meet anyone from his congregation. On the first tee, he sees that he has the whole course to himself. Result!Meanwhile, up in Heaven, Saint Peter turns to God and says: ‘You’re not going to let a man of the cloth get away with this?’ God looks down at Father Morrissey just as he tees off. The ball flies 420 yards, bounces once, then rolls straight into the hole. ‘And why on earth did you let him get a hole in one?’The Lord smiles. ‘Who is he ever going to tell?’ he says.
