Two longtime golfing buddies got to the course one day and decided that today they would play the ball where it lies..."No matter what!" On the 14th hole, one of them sliced his ball and it ended up on the cart path. As he reached down to pick up his ball to get relief, his friend said, "Wait a minute! We agreed that we would not improve our lies! Remember? No matter what!" The first player tried to explain that he was entitled to this relief -- and that it was in the rules of golf. But the second fellow would not allow it. Finally, in disgust, the man went to the golf cart and grabbed a club. As he stood near his ball, he took a few practice swings, each time scraping the club on the pavement and sending out showers of sparks. Finally, he took his shot. The club hit the cart path cement again, sparks went flying, but his ball shot straight towards the green, landed and rolled to a stop -- only two inches from the cup.
"WOW, great shot!" his friend exclaimed. "What club did you use?"
The man answered with a wry smile, "Your 7-iron!"
