Golfing Nightmare Ends Happily

Thanks to an insurance policy provided by a California Health Insurance agent, the hospitalization of Bob Parr’s golfing buddy was covered.

Bob was kidded about his name whenever he played golf. “How come you
never make pars?” his golfing buddies teased. The truth be known -- Bob
Parr was a lousy golfer. He shanked or hooked most drives, and
popcorned his iron shots. He missed putts less than four inches in
length. “I’ve never seen anybody do that,” remarked Bob’s friend John
P. Knotworth. But on the 12th hole, a par-three dogleg, the unfortunate
Knotworth was standing about fifty feet down the fairway when Bob Parr
struck his fateful tee shot with an ancient driver. Knotworth was way
off to the side and seemingly safely out of Bob’s line of fire. The
golf ball, a brand new dimpled Titleist, had other ideas. Struck hard
by big Bob, who stood six foot six and weighed close to 250 pounds
without his cleats, the Titleist careened on a straight diagonal,
striking John P. squarely on his forehead before he had a chance to
duck, knocking him cold. Pete and Gary, two other members of the
foursome, gazed upon the scene in horror. Bob was mortified by the
accident he’d caused. “Oh no!” Bob screamed. John P. Knotworth
resembled a dead sunfish lying by a golf course pond even by the time
the paramedics arrived.

The next day when the foursome had gathered in John P.’s hospital
room, the victim was conscious and smiling, although the raised welt on
his forehead looked angrier than the sting of a hornet. Pete and Gary
were grinning too, but big Bob was worried – perhaps because he’d been
responsible. “I’ll pay your bill,” Bob offered graciously, “it’s the
least I can do.”

John P. Knotworth laughed a hearty laugh that sounded a bit like a
long drive struck correctly, straight as an arrow. The knot on his
forehead must have still been hurting, but he didn’t let on. “Forget
about it. My California Health Insurance agent sold me a policy a while
back. We got you covered Bob.”

Pete and Gary joined John P. in a fit of manly laughter that must
have lasted for two minutes while Bob just stood there, finally
managing a sheepish grin of his own.

“I’ll practice more on the driving range,” Bob promised. “I’ll hit five hundred balls!”

Pete was a jokester right then. “Better make that a million!” he said. That line got everybody laughing.
