We were all laughing our a**es off until we got that look. He didn't see any humor in the situation. Apparently his kids had saved their allowances, babysitting and yard mowing money just to buy dad the club he wanted.

He stripped and waded in to retrieve the club. Judging from the "Costanza Effect" when he got out, the water was realllly cold.

I'd have done the same if my kids got me it. Ouch.

We're all standing there with our mouths standing open, not knowing what to do.

Then, the entire group ahead busts up laughing! He had missed the putt on purpose, and had the wedge there for that exact reason (it was already trashed...something he'd found somewhere).

In retrospect, it was classic!!

Ok, that's funny. I need to find a old putter like that and try to pull that off at one of our Sunday scrambles.

Many years ago I hit a shot over a forced carry that didnt make it..

I got real pissed off stomped right foot on the tee block a few times swung my foot and my shoe went flying 20 feet or so right into damn lake.Trust me they dont float.

Needless to say I ended up taking off the left one and throwing that in as well.


That was the first time I ever played barefoot.

I had read somewhere that Sam Snead said it wasnt a bad way to practice.
