Father Richard was playing golf with a clergyman. On the first hole, he sliced into the rough. The cleryman heard him mutter, "Oroville!" under his breath.
On the second hole, the ball went straight into a lateral hazard. "Oroville!" exclaimed Father Richard again, a little louder this time.
On the third hole, Father Richard got lucky and his drive landed on the green only five inches from the hole! He said, "Praise be to God!"
He was careful with his shot, but the ball curved around the hole instead of going in.
His reaction was "Oroville!"
By this time, the clergyman was too curious not to ask, so he questioned the priest why he kept saying the word "Oroville".
"It's the largest dam I know." Father Richard replied.
