The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Shimon
Peres, the former leader of Israel. "Your holiness," said one of the
Cardinals, "Mr. Peres wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are
superior, by challenging you to a golf match." The Pope was greatly
disturbed, as he had never held a golf club in his life.
"Not to worry," said the Cardinal, "we'll call America and talk to Jack
Nicklaus. We'll make him a Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres...We can't
lose!" Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made and, of
course, Jack was honored and agreed to play.
The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope
of his success in the match. "I came in second, your Holiness," said
Nicklaus.
"Second?!!" exclaimed the surprised pope. "You came in second to Shimon
Peres?!!"
"No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Woods."
