Play It Where It Lays
--------------------
There was this guy at the golf course that was always
cheating. He never played a straight game of golf. Always
improving his lie, taking mulligans, etc. It got so bad that
no one ever wanted to play a round with him.

One day the golf pro walked up to him and said, "We're going
to go out and play a round and I'm going to show you how
you’re supposed to play this game. There will be absolutely
no cheating. It'll be an honest game of golf."

The man looked sort of disappointed but replied, "Well,
alright."

On the first tee, the pro decided to let the man go first so
that he could keep an eye on him.

After setting up his shot, the man finally tees off and
really slices the ball. It passes through a couple of trees,
bounces twice, rolls and then comes to a stop on the cart
path.

Then the pro tees of and hits a really straight ball right
down the middle of the fairway.

They put their clubs away and proceed down the fairway to
hit their second shot.

Upon arriving to his ball, the man reaches down to pick it
up and move it off the path. The pro sees this and says,
"Hey, wait a minute. You've got to play that ball where it
stopped. Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'play it where it
lays'?”

The man replies, "Well yeah, but I can't hit the ball when
it's on the cart path."

"Well you have too", the pro says. "It's in the rule
book."

The man frowns and seems to ponder the issue for a moment.
"Well, alright." He replies. He walks over, grabs a club, and
addresses his ball. He starts his back swing and then
proceeds to scrape the club head across the pavement, sparks
flying everywhere, and hit a beautiful shot that lands on the
green and stops two feet from the hole.

The pro in wonderment says, "Wow! That was a beautiful
shot. What did you use on that?"

The man looks at him and replies, "Your four iron."
