Just for Laughs – Trapped! An elderly golfer showed up at the course one morning without a partner. The pro agreed to play 18 holes with him, and asked him what kind of a player he was.
“Not too bad, I guess,” the old duffer answered.
“But I have a little trouble getting out of sand traps.”
They played a close game, and the older gentleman managed to avoid sand traps until they reached the 18th hole. His shot to the green dropped into the trap, and he’d have to sink his ball into the hole with just one shot to win the game.
The pro watched as the elderly golfer carefully stepped into the trap, looked the situation over, and swung his club. To the pro’s amazement, the ball went right into the cup.
“Great shot!” the pro said. “I thought you said you have trouble getting out of sand traps?”
“I do. Could you give me a hand, please?”
