Sandy Bit

Seen before:2,970 times

A Sandy bit is an award that you receive in the following situation.

You are playing golf at Rowlands Castle Golf Club
It’s the men’s Wednesday evening roll up
Your ball has entered a greenside bunker "in regulation"
You get down in two strokes
Therefore you have a gross par… Which is known as a Sandy Par

So you win a BIT (25p).

Of course it’s also possible to play better than par and get a Sandy Birdie.

I’ve never done that.

Herb Miller lives in Rowlands Castle with his wife Susan, and sleek black and white cat, Sergeant Bramble. He’s been collecting SBs for half his lifetime. If you ask him why he’ll say Simply Because. His favourites to date are the short but sweet, palindromic sub bus, the sulphurous brewmasters Googlewhack and of course, seriously bonkers, simply brilliant and silly B. He fully expects his short booklet to become a shortlisted bestseller. Buy the book from herbmiller.me/shop
