Hi son, good news! Looks like I'll have plenty of time to coach your little league team this year!
...So, the gynecologist walks onto the green and says..."just another day at the office boys."
It opens up over there.
If we fill it with water and paint a red circle around it we don't have to fix it.

Upon walking onto the green, a Superintendent's heart sinks into the ground.
After receiving samples at the lab, Kaminski pondered whether this newest type of turf syndrome would be termed "Rapid irrigation decline" or "Sinkhole patch." (Facebook fan and Blog follower)
I knew that construction guy was all talk and didn't know what he was doing - but nobody would listen to me!
Damn; those USGA spec greens drain fast!
Give it a good shot of iron. Nobody will ever notice it!
This is taking the 9th green at nine trick a little too far!
If you will follow me a few more steps you will see the exact spot where Andy Dufresne arose out of the sewers in Shawshank Redemption.
Boss, I'm telling you, there is no leak on the 14th green...what's that? Oh the blow out was on the 4th green...
Where do you think they got the idea for the bunker in the green at Riviera?

"Well, it only took 39 years, but Alan Shepard's 6 iron from Apollo 14 finally hit the green. Looks to be pin-high too!"
Oops, I forgot to mention where I am following you. Both Facebook and Twitter. Although it will soon just be Facebook as I am dropping Twitter. There are too many spammers and crazy rap singers trying to "follow" me; I do not even listen to rap. It is kinda like a bad dream... buy these golf clubs homie - boom chakka chakka chuck. I digress...

All of the Turf Pathologists got together one night after a few light cocktails and conversation and designed the perfect cultural practice to reduce the severity of Fairy Ring on greens turf; voilà.

"The Super said to put the hole in the middle for the weekend; I think it was position 5 - just somewhere to avoid the water. Well, I stopped when I saw the pipe. "
what I took away from that picture was the nice straight lines of the walk behind mower was ruined by the mower operator having two mow lines in the same direction
That salesman said deep tining would really open up my greens but this is ridiculous. (Follow the blog and Facebook)

The superintendent reluctantly agreed to a new memorial program last spring. The members think everything is possible.
It's all fun and games until you find the mainline in the middle of the green.
Oh yeah, the GM complained about the pin being to close to the edge of the sink hole and wants to see it corrected ASAP.

Looks to be a sandbagger in the midst of good intention. To paraphrase a movie (and give no credit I might add), this was your least original caption but yet, every hour, it keeps getting more and more votes - shame. It was fun while it lasted fellas. The other two are pretty good though; original and funny. Perhaps you and your sponsors should vote.
