Golf may be known as a game of precision, patience, and polite applause, but that doesn’t mean it’s without its share of humor. In fact, the quiet fairways and calm greens are often the perfect backdrop for some of the most unexpected laughs. From misread putts to wild swings that land two fairways over, the sport is filled with moments ripe for comedy. Golf jokes take aim at everything from overly confident caddies to the ever-elusive hole-in-one—and they hit the funny bone every time. This collection of golf jokes is designed to lighten the mood, bring a smile between swings, and remind everyone that sometimes, laughter really is the best club in your bag.
