Paul was teeing off from the back tees. On his down-swing, he suddenly realized that his wife, Alison, was about to tee off from the red tees, directly in his path.

Unable to stop his down swing he nailed the ball, hit Alison directly in the right temple, killing her instantly.

A few days later Paul received a call from the coroner concerning her autopsy .

"Paul, your wife seems to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and struck her in the temple. Is that correct?"

"Yes sir," Paul replied, "that's correct."

"Well, Paul, I also found a large bruise on Allison's right hip. Do you know anything about that?"

"Yes sir," Paul said, "That would have been my second shot."
