I guess you have to be a golfer to understand the joke.

So it’s not quite the same as making a layup in basketball.

Or, when you”re in a really bad lie and just need to whack it out onto the fairway. I was an expert at layups, lol.

It’s when you get hit on the head by a golf ball and are laid up for a while.

I don’t play standard golf, but in disc golf a layup is typically just trying to get in a good position for your next shot, or just tossing the disc under the basket rather than risking a long putt.

I don’t get this one.

Do a lay-up to avoid a water hazard.

The comic explains exactly what it means to “lay up” in golf.

“Laying up” in golf means not hitting the ball as far as you could, even though the hole is further away. It’s frequently done to avoid hazards (for example, a drive might risk going in the water), or just to recover from a bad shot without risk of compounding the problem.

It’s the shot you take after you hit the first one in the water. (Do – over)
