A woman tries her skill at golf. Her first shot ends up deep in the rough. While searching for the ball, she gets a horrible case of poison ivy. After several weeks of recovery, she gives it another try, and again her first shot ends up in the rough. This time, while looking for the ball, she steps on a sharp, metal object and requires several stitches.

Refusing to give up, she goes back out the next day. Once again, her first shot sails off into the rough. While digging around for her ball, she gets stung by a wasp. Furious, she storms back to the club house, where she vows never to play the game again.

The golf pro, upon hearing her announcement, tries to offer comfort. “Don’t you think you’re over-reacting?” he asks. “Every time I hit the ball, it goes in the rough, and then something terrible happens!” she shouts.

“I’ll bet there’s something in your technique that I could change with a few suggestions and you’d be fine”, he consoles her.

“Oh yeah? Well I just got stung by a wasp! What could you possibly say that could have prevented that?” she asks angrily.

“Where did you get stung?” he inquires. “Between the first and second holes”, she snaps.

“See there”, he responds, “Your stance is too wide”
