Joe,
My buddies and I like to make silly little bets on trick shots. I am two down to them so I am counting on a sly dog like you to give me two ideas on how to get back at them.

Answer: On the putting green, bet that you can get two balls into the hole from 20 feet with only 3 strokes. They will think you must hole one of the putts so they will take the bet. Then you put both balls together against the face of your putter, so a single stroke will send both balls close to the hole, and hopefully from there you will have two tap ins. Next, bet that one swing with your wedge can make a ball pop straight up in the air and you will catch it in your hand. Then stack one ball on top of another, since balls have dimples this is not hard to do. Then hit the bottom ball with your swing and the top ball will pop straight up in the air and it should be easy to catch. OK readers, now it is your turn, have you got any other trick shots to share with us?
