Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a man found himself in the confessional booth seeking forgiveness for his sins. With a mix of guilt and embarrassment, he mustered the courage to utter those familiar words, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”

The man’s sincerity resonated with the priest, who kindly encouraged him to confess his missteps. With a hesitant tone, the man began to recount his tale of folly.

On a particular weekend, instead of attending church as he should, the man found himself on a golf course, indulging in his favorite pastime with his buddies. Little did he know that this day would be unlike any other.

As he stood on the first tee, ready to begin his game, he swung his club, only to see his shot veer sharply into the thick bushes on the left. Frustration and irritation settled upon him, but it was not at that moment that the infamous word slipped from his lips.

Undeterred by his initial setback, the man continued along the fairway. To his surprise, his errant ball received a fortunate bounce, granting him a clear path to the green. Relief washed over him like a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day. However, his moment of triumph was short-lived.

Out of nowhere, a mischievous squirrel darted across his path, snatching his ball with lightning speed and scampering up a nearby tree. It was a sight to behold, but still, the forbidden word did not escape his lips.

As the man stood captivated by this unexpected spectacle, an eagle swooped down from above, effortlessly seizing the squirrel in its sharp talons. The two creatures embraced each other, soaring through the heavens. The man watched in awe, his heart racing. Yet, even in this extraordinary moment, the forbidden word eluded him.

The climax of the story arrived when the eagle, still clutching the squirrel, flew over the green. The dying squirrel’s grip on the golf ball weakened, and just as it seemed all hope was lost, the ball descended from the sky and miraculously landed a mere 5 inches from the hole. It was a shot that defied all odds.

At this point, the priest could hardly contain his curiosity and excitement. He exclaimed, “Don’t tell me you missed the f…ing putt!” The man couldn’t help but smile mischievously, confirming his fate.
