Since its origins in 15th century Scotland, golf and comedy have gone hand-in-hand.
The sport’s first players traded barbs and banter between strokes to pass time on the links. This tradition continues today, as golfers at all levels use humor and joke-telling to foster camaraderie during long rounds. Though golf conjures images of rigid etiquette, its connection to jokes and laughter reveals the game’s fundamentally social essence.
As long as there are bogeys and shanks to laugh about, golf and humor seem destined to remain golf’s longest-running comic duo.
Joke Of The Day
One golfer asked his friend, “Why are you so late in arriving for your tee time?”
His friend replied, “It’s laundry day, I had to toss a coin between doing the laundry or playing golf.”
“Sure,” continued the friend, “but that still doesn’t explain why you are so late.”
“Well,” said the golfer, “it took me 25 tosses to get the right answer!”
