An 80 year-old man 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 with 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 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?" "I do," replied the old man.
"Please give me a hand."
