Mamat was a man of faith, and a man of the golf course. He played golf every Sunday religiously, but only after attending church services.
Mamat was getting on in years, and one day after feeling ill, he said to his wife, "I sure hope there is golf in the afterlife. I feel terrible!"
His wife told him not to overreact with talk about the afterlife. "Go to pray and say a little prayer," she suggested, "and you'll feel better."
So Mamat headed to pray. As he kneeled at the pew, Mamat whispered a prayer: "Oh Lord, thank you for everything - my health, my wife and my golf game. I hope that when I reach Heaven I can still play golf."
As soon as he finished, a voice thundered: "Mamat, this is the Lord. I hear you and will answer your question.
Do you want the good news or the bad news first?"
Mamat was startled. "Well, give me the good news," he said.
The Lord replied, "The good news is that in Heaven, we have thousands of championship golf courses, play is never slow, it's always free and you will never lose a golf ball."
Mamat was ecstatic, "That's wonderful! You've answered my prayer! But what is the bad news?"
The Lord replied, "You tee off tomorrow at 9 a.m."
