Frank says, "The 18-hole course is to the left and a 9-hole course is to the right --- which do you want to play?" Ernest says, "I'll decide that after my first tee-shot!"
gmartin997, there are links type courses where you play the front nine away from the clubhouse and the back nine back toward the clubhouse. best example is probably St Andrews, but a course i play from time to time has the ninth green only about 50 feet from the first tee, so i can see how it could happen. i’ll admit it isn’t the best “golf joke” i’ve ever heard, but anything to lighten the mood when you’re starting your round helps.
