 Probably the amateur/ weekend golfers most feared shot. Here is the first in a short series of tips which may help you improve your bunker technique. By Joe Sharkey 

Bunker Shot – Changing Your Ball Position Can Be An Effective Bunker Strategy 

More advanced golf players have the advantage of doing some creative things with the position of the ball when setting up for a bunker shot.

For the rest of us, it’s best to stick with the basics and play the ball in the middle of the stance, until the shot can be mastered. Once you can step foot into a bunker with 100% confidence that you can make the ball onto the green, you are then ready for more advanced techniques.

Although you may not be ready for such advanced bunker shots, you may be faced with unplanned circumstances. Some bunker shots may not allow you to take an even stance with the ball positioned in the middle, like the following two scenarios:

Downhill Bunker Shots:

If you are facing a downhill bunker shot, you must move the ball slightly behind center within your stance to be sure that the ball flies up. The reason is  because gravity will naturally pull it down.

Uphill Bunker Shots: 

 When dealing with an uphill bunker shot, move the ball slightly forward of the center to ensure that you splash the sand in the front of the ball.

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods.
She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The Frog
said to her, “If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three
wishes.”
The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, “Thank you, but I failed to
mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for,your husband will get ……. times ten!”

The woman said,”That’s okay.” For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, “You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man that ever lived, an Adonis whom women will swoon over and flock to”.

The woman replied, “That’s okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.”

So, KAZAM!!! - She’s the most beautiful Woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said,” That will make your husband the richest man in the worldby
far. And he will be ten times richer than you. “The woman said,

“That’s okay, because what’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.”

So, KAZAM!!! - She’s the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and after
carefulconsideration

she answered, “I’d like a mild heart attack.”

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don’t mess with them.

ATTENTION female readers: This is the end of the joke for you.

Stop hereandcontinue feeling good.

Male readers: Please scroll down.

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they’re reallysmart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show.

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to

show that women are nosey cows and never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who

have a good sense of humour.

What is the history of golf?
 
There is still some disagreement over the ancient roots of the game that has become popular worldwide. While most fans of golf and serious golf historians agree that the modern game originated in Scotland, some trace its roots back much further than that. At Golfing World
you can find out much more about golf?s history, including references to its beginning in Holland and the Roman Empire. For now, here are a few highlights.
 
Using a club
 
The golf club is one of three key parts of the history of golf. In fact, the words ?kolf? and ?goff? that appear in golf histories actually mean ?club? or a similar instrument used for hitting or striking. These early golfers first used clubs fashioned from sticks or lumber to hit a rounded stone or pebble. One of the first clubs with a specific design was called a cleek.
 
The golf ball
 
For the first golfers, the object being hit was a rounded stone or pebble, probably found on the meadow or on the ground near the sea. But creative golfers soon began stuffing a tough leather pouch with chicken or goose feathers to create a ball. Then a packing material called gutta percha was shaped and the first ?modern? golf ball was born.
 
A hole in the ground
 
The key ingredient in modern golf that separated it from the field games played in Roman times and even on the European continent was a rabbit hole. The game?s rural beginnings provided the object of hitting the ball toward and then into a hole. This innovation is Scotland?s great contribution to the game.
 
The links
 
This term is sometimes applied to any golf course. But a true links course is at the seashore and near the mouth of a river emptying into the sea. The term comes from the area leading to the shore from a town. The vegetation was trampled down by men and animals. These cleared areas become some of the first golfing grounds.
 
The country club atmosphere
 
The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith in Scotland is recognized as the first club devoted to golf. A club member wrote some of the first formal rules for the game. Golf now has its home in St. Andrews, widely regarded as the ancestral home of the game.
