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
James was playing a round of golf with the club pro one day and after 18 holes they went into the clubhouse.
James asked the pro, “What do you think of my game?”
The pro replied, “You should shorten your clubs by 1 inch.”
James asked if the pro thought this would help his game.
To which the pro said, ” No! It will help them fit in the trash can!”
