By The Rules
Two friends were playing golf one day.
They decided that they would adhere strictly to the rules
with no improving their lie. After a few holes, one guy's
ball landed on a cart path.
As he reached down to pick up his ball to get relief his
friend said,
"We agreed that we would not improve our lie."
No matter how much the first fellow tried to explain that
he was entitled to this relief, the second fellow would
not allow it. So the man went to the cart to get a club.
As he stood over the ball he took a few practice swings,
each time scraping the club on the pavement, taking out
big chunks of blacktop and sending out lots of sparks!
Finally, after several practice swings he took his shot.
The ball took off and landed on the green about 6 feet from
the pin.
"Great shot!" his friend exclaimed. "What club did you use?"
"YOUR 7-iron!" he replied.
