| Sand Traps
An octogenarian who was an avid golfer moved to a new town and
joined the local Country Club. He went to the Club for the first
time to play but was told there wasn't anybody he could play because
they were already out on the course.
He repeated several times that he really wanted to play. Finally,
the Assistant Pro said he would play with him and asked how many
strokes he wanted for a bet. The 80 year old said "I really
don't need any strokes as I have been playing quite well. The only
real problem I have is getting out of sand traps."
And he did play well. Coming to the par four 18th they were all
even. The pro had a nice drive and was able to get on the green
and 2-putt for a par. The old man had a nice drive, but his approach
shot landed in a sand trap next to the green. Playing from the bunker
he hit a high ball which landed on the green and rolled into the
hole! Birdie, match and all the money! The Pro walked over to the
sand trap where his opponent was still standing in the trap. He
said "Nice shot, but I thought you said you have a problem
getting out of sand traps?".
Replied the octogenarian, "I do. Please give me a hand."
