Below is an explanation of the joke, if you are so inclined.
Sand traps are one of the most common hazards on a golf course and one of the easiest places to lose strokes. Newer players often underestimate how difficult they are to escape, especially when the ball lands close to the edge or in soft sand.
The joke comes from treating the bunker like something harmless and realizing too late that it changes the entire hole. Most golfers learn that lesson the hard way.
