A man playing as a single at Pebble Beach was teamed with a twosome. After a few holes, the twosome finally asked why he was playing such a beautiful course by himself. He replied that he & his wife had played the course every year - for over 20 years - but this year she had passed away and he kept the tee time in her memory. The twosome commented that they thought certainly someone would have been willing to take her spot. " So did I" he said - "but they all wanted to go to the funeral"

Improve your greenside bunker play by teeing up your ball in the sand. Push a tee into the sand until the top of the tee is even with the sand. Place a ball on top of the tee and try to hit the tee -- not the ball -- out of the sand.
