Lucky or Good? Why Not Both!

Second only to the "Tastes Great or Less Filling" debate, the question as to whether it's better to be lucky or good is one that has stumped some of the greatest minds in the history of civilization.  Now, thanks to Bob Dray, the answer to this conundrum of all conundrums has now been revealed.

"Lucky or good?  Why not both?!", says the crafty veteran, shown here during a 1962 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, performing under his stage name, "Dray The Magnificent". He recently put his hypothesis to the test in front of a group stunned onlookers during a recent round of golf at LCCC.

Finding his drive resting atop a bed of algae in the culvert right off #14, and eschewing a drop and the associated one-stroke penalty, Dray withdrew a battered hybrid from his bag, and hit his second shot from the concrete-lined hazard to the grove of trees left of the fairway. From there, he hit his third shot from 140 yards to 25 feet, and proceeded to drain the putt for a miraculous par save.

Moments later on #15, and after snap-hooking his drive into the trees left of the fairway, Dray demonstrated that his feat on #14 was a mere warm-up act. Rather than take his medicine and punch out into the safety of the fairway, Dray took dead aim at the flag some 160 yards across the water, and hit a low, sizzling approach out of the trees that took one skip off the water, cleared the pond's retaining wall, and finally came to rest on the collar of the green. Moments later, he got up and down once again to save par, brandishing his putter like a magic wand as the ball fell into the hole.

"Executed just as planned," deadpanned Dray The Magnificent. "Anyone can hit these greens from the fairway - what's so special about that?"  For more examples of where it's better to be lucky than good, please see the following video:
