Some time back, when Gerald Ford was the president, a pro
golfer was invited to play in a foursome with President Ford, Jack Nicklaus,
and Billy Graham. The golfer was especially in awe of playing with Ford and
Billy Graham (he had played often played with Nicklaus).
After the round of
golf was over, one of the other golfers came up to the guy and asked, “Hey,
what was it like playing with the president and Billy Graham?”
The pro unleashed
a torrent of cursing, and in a disgusted manner said, “I don’t need Billy Graham
stuffing religion down my throat.” With that he turned on his heels and stormed
off, heading for the practice tee.
His friend
followed the angry pro to the practice tee. The pro took out his driver and
started to beat out balls in fury. His neck was crimson, and it looked as if
steam was coming from his ears. His friend said nothing. He sat on a bench and
watched. After a few minutes the anger of the pro was spent. He settled down.
His friend said quietly, “Was Billy a little rough on you out there?”
The pro was embarrassed
and said, “No, he didn’t even mention religion. I just had a bad round.”

wicked flee when no one pursues,
