A young man from Scotland came over to the United States looking for a job. It was suggested, by his friends, that since he lived in Scotland, that he look into becoming a caddy.

So one day, the young lad went to the local golf course to try and caddy. As he entered the Golf Club, there was a buzz of excitement going around. It seemed that Tiger Woods and other golfers from around the world where there for a big event.

The Golf Club was short of caddies that day and hired the young man on the spot to be the caddy for Tiger Wood's.
At the end of the day, Tiger Woods wins the event and receives a check for a few million dollars. The young Scotsman was very impress and asked Tiger Woods if he would show him how to play the game. Tiger Woods was amazed that someone for Scotland did not know how to play golf. But that aside, Tiger Woods decided he would help the young Scotsman.

As they approached the first tee, Woods points out to the Scotsman the flag of the first hole, demonstrates how to set the ball on the tee and offers some helpful hints on how to best hit the ball.

So the Scotsman sets the first ball up….swings…… and bang… the ball travels through the air landing about 10 feet from the hole. Mr. Wood was very impress and as he handed the Scotsman and second ball, asked if he ever played Golf before. "Nope", answered the Scotsman.

So the Scotsman sets up the second ball…….swings….. and bang…… the ball travels through the air this time landing about 5 feet away…… "WOW!!" said Mr. Woods.
Let's try one more…….bang….. this time the balls lands with in a few inches….. "UNBELIEVEABLE!!!" states Mr. Wood.

Now they walk down to the green. There Tiger Woods is amazed to see up close the positions of the three balls. Tiger walks over to the Scotsman, handing him the putter and give instructions on how to use it.

The Scotsman bends over the first ball. As he starts to swing back the club the Scotsman stops, looks up at Tiger and asks, "What is the object of this game". Tiger Wood, with a puzzled face, says "why to hit put the ball in the hole."

The Scotsman stands up straight, points back to the tee off area and replies, "Why did ya not tell me that back there."
