Back It Up
John Daly is playing in a big tournament and comes to a 245 yard par-3. After some deliberation, he takes out his 3 iron and sails the ball 20 feet over the pin and backs it up to within 3 feet of the pin.
From in the crowd Bigbrimar asks, "Mr. Daly, how do you make a 3 iron back up like that?"
Daly replied, "Do you own a 3 iron?"
Bigbri says, "Yes, sir I do."
"How far do you hit it?" asks Big John.
About 160 yards was his reply.
Daly calmly said, "What the hell do you want it to back up for?"
By The Rules
Cigar4John and Faldo were playing golf one day. They decided that they would adhere strictly to the rules with no improving their lie. After a few holes, Faldo's ball landed on a cart path.
As he reached down to pick up his ball to get relief John said, "We agreed that we would not improve our lie." No matter how much Faldo tried to explain to ‘Shankapotomus’ that he was entitled to this relief, John would not allow it. So Faldo went to the cart to get a club.
As Faldo 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!" John exclaimed. "What club did you use?"
Faldo said, "YOUR 7-iron!"
Alternate Shot
Beerhog playing in a two-man alternate shot tournament drove his tee shot to the edge of the green on a par-3 hole.
His partner, Matchy, playing the second shot, managed to chip it over the green into a bunker. Undaunted, Beerhog recovers with a fine shot to within one foot of the hole.
Matchy then nervously putts, and sends the ball one foot past the hole, leaving Beerhog to sink the putt.
"Do you realize that we took five strokes on an easy par-3?" says Beerhog.
"Yes, and don't forget who took three of them!" answered Matchy.

Well Faldo,
I would hate to hit my 3 Iron longer than some whirly birds I've seen this year.
