Pray and Hit

A young man and a priest are golfing together.
At a short par-3 the priest asks, “What are you going to use on this hole, my son?”
The young man says, “An 8-iron, Father. How about you?”
The priest says, “I’m going to hit a soft seven and pray.”
The young man hits his 8-iron and puts the ball on the green.
The priest tops his 7-iron and dribbles the ball out a few yards.
