As he approached the gates of Heaven, St. Peter saw him coming and asked, “Are you a good golfer?”
The man replied that he was a scratch golfer, meaning that he could play to a zero handicap.

The man protested: “I have always played the blue course! I can’t possibly play on white!”
St. Peter replied: “Sorry, those are the rules: no red (Jews), no black (blacks), and no blue (Democrats) allowed on the white course up there.

The other day, I wrote about how to hit longer golf shots. Today I’m going to turn my attention to the bunker golf shot.
This is a shot that strikes fear in the heart of most amateur players. Who wants to be stuck in a sand trap with a ball they might have trouble even finding? Sure, we may have a little wedge or sand wedge in our bag, but do we know how to use it?
The answer is probably no. Most amateurs don’t know how to handle this shot. They often take too much club and try to muscle their way out of the trap. This usually results in a fat shot, lots of sand flying, and no forward motion on the ball.
To get out of a bunker cleanly, you have to understand this one concept: The club will go under the ball if you swing correctly through impact.
That’s all there is to it! The club will go under the ball! It sounds simple, but most players can’t remember that on the course. They try to scoop at the ball with their arms and end up hitting fat shots or skulling over it onto the green.
But if you think about swinging underneath the ball during your pre-shot routine, you never have to worry about
As you know, I’ve been working on my golf game.
For the past year I’ve been playing 1-2 times a week and taking lessons every other month or so. I’m pretty proud of the progress I’ve made in that time. My handicap index has dropped almost 10 strokes and I’ve shot a couple of sub-80 rounds.

So, in an effort to get better, I’ve made several changes recently:
Playing more

The golfer has to be one of the luckiest people on earth. He wakes up every day and heads for a golf course, knowing he will be surrounded by beautiful trees, fresh air, and green grass.
