There are some guys out there who simply can\u2019t stand losing, especially if the person who beats them at anything is female. There\u2019s just something so fun about watching a guy or group of guys shown up by a woman they underestimated. It\u2019s even more fun when they try their very best, and she still mops the floor with them. Along the way, women have made great strides in closing gender gaps in certain sports. In this joke, a new woman joins a mostly male golf club, and the male members are soon bewildered by her incredible skills.<\/p>\n<p>New woman joins a golf club.<\/p>\n<p>When she hears the guys talking about their golf round, she says, \u201cI played on my college\u2019s golf team. I was pretty good. Mind if I join you next week?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No one wants to say \u2018yes\u2019, but they\u2019re on the spot. Finally, one man says. \u201cOkay, but we start at 6:30 a.m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He figures the early tee-time will discourage her.<\/p>\n<p>The woman says this may be a problem, and asks if she can be up to 15 minutes late.<\/p>\n<p>They roll their eyes, but say, \u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s there at 6:30 a.m. sharp, and beats all of them with an eye-opening 2-under par round. She\u2019s fun and pleasant, and the guys are impressed.<\/p>\n<p>They congratulate her and invite her back the next week.<\/p>\n<p>She smiles, and says, \u201cI\u2019ll be there at 6:30 or 6:45.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next week she again shows up at 6:30 sharp. Only this time, she plays left-handed.<\/p>\n<p>The three guys are incredulous as she still beats them with an even par round, despite playing with her off-hand.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re totally amazed.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t figure her out. She\u2019s very pleasant and a gracious winner. They invite her back again, but each man harbours a burning desire to beat her.<\/p>\n<p>The third week, she\u2019s 15 minutes late, which irritates the guys.<\/p>\n<p>This week she plays right-handed, and narrowly beats all three of them.<\/p>\n<p>The men grumble that her late arrival is petty gamesmanship on her part. However, she\u2019s so charming and complimentary of their strong play, they can\u2019t hold a grudge.<\/p>\n<p>This woman is a riddle no one can figure out. They have a couple of beers in the Clubhouse, and finally, one of the men asks her, \u201cHow do you decide if you\u2019re going to golf right-handed or left-handed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lady blushes, and grins. \u201cWhen my Dad taught me to play golf, I learned I was ambidextrous,\u201d she replies. \u201cI like to switch back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got married after college, I discovered my husband always sleeps in the nude. From then on, I developed a silly habit.<\/p>\n<p>Right before I leave in the morning for golf practice, I pull the covers off him. If his willie points to the right, I golf right-handed; if it points to the left, I golf left-handed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The guys think this is hysterical. Astonished at this bizarre information, one of the guys says, \u201cWhat if it\u2019s pointing straight up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She says, \u201cThen, I\u2019m fifteen minutes late.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Male egos are funny things.
