Emphasis Preaching Journal

Gregory Knox Jones tells the story of an unusual golf course in Calcutta, India. When the golfers started to play the monkeys would drop out of the trees, scurry across the course, and seize the golf balls tossing them here and there. The golfers tried to control the monkeys by building a fence and developing other strategies, but nothing seemed to work. Finally the golfers gave up and employed a rather novel ground rule: Play the ball where the monkey drops the ball.
