Milo and Stosh are standing on the 18th tee at their
Polish Country Club. They are the final
twosome in the Polish Country Club Championship and are tied for the lead. The
18th hole is a beautiful par four with a deep valley descending down to a
dogleg right.
Both Milo and Stosh hit long, straight tee shots that
disappear down into the valley. A short time later, the fore caddie appears at
the top of the hill and announces that both balls are within 6 inches of each
other, but there's a problem. Both of the golf balls are Titleist # 4s.
Milo and Stosh look at each other and realize that they
had not informed each other as to what kind of ball they were playing, nor its
number. They quickly descend into the valley and, sure enough, their two Titleist
golf balls are right next to each at the bottom of the valley in the middle of
the fairway.
Stosh looks at Milo and says, "We had better get a
ruling from a tournament official to straighten this out. This is the Polish
Country Club Championships and we don't want to be disqualified for making a
mistake and hitting the wrong ball. After all, we are tied for the lead."
Soon after, a rules official appears and examines the two
# 4 Titleist golf balls. He then looks up at Milo and Stosh and says,
"Which one of you is playing the yellow ball?”
