Jim, who was about to retire from work, was gifted a set of golf clubs by his colleagues.
Wanting to the game, he approached a professional for guidance, clarifying that he knew nothing whatever of the game.
The professional showed him the stance and swing, then said "Just hit the ball toward the flag on the first green."
Jim, the trainee teed up and smacked the ball straight down the fairway and onto the green, where it stopped inches from the hole.
"Now what?", Jim asked the dumbfounded professional.
"Uh... you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup" the professional finally managed to mutter.
Jim replied, "Oh great! NOW you tell me!"
