A few years ago, a struggling golf pro was hired for one week to go to the Middle East to instruct a rich Arab sheikh how to play the game of golf.
The golf instructor was promised a large sum of money and offered an even larger bonus if the sheikh could break 100 by the end of their week of lessons.
As soon as the golf instructor arrived at the sheikh’s private airport, he was treated like royalty. Anything he wanted was immediately given to him free of charge.
At the first session, the golf instructor and the sheikh became friends almost instantly.
They met for three hours every morning and three hours every afternoon.
By the end of the week, the sheikh, who had never played golf before, broke 100.
The golf instructor would get his huge bonus!
When the golf instructor was getting ready to leave, the sheikh gave him his check for the week of lessons and the huge bonus.
And then the sheikh said to the instructor, “I must also give you a present for your kindness and help. What would you like?”
The golf instructor said, “This is the most money I’ve ever made — you don’t owe me
anything.”
The sheikh said, “No, I must get you a present.”
The instructor said “OK —just buy me a golf club.”
The sheikh said, “Consider it done.”
After a few months had passed, the golf instructor received a registered letter in the mail. It was from a South Carolina law firm. The instructor opened the formal-looking letter. Inside was a legal document making him the owner of a golf club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
