This brings you up to date with all the events of the SunBird Men’s Club for February.
We all make New Year’s resolutions. One of mine is to try to share the lighter side of golf each month. So, here is the first installment of the SunBird Men Club’s “The Lighter Side of Golf.” I cannot take credit for this as my thoughts. I got these off the internet website “10 Funniest Golf Jokes,” but I have only shared five.
There’s no denying it—golf is hard. And sometimes, you need to keep things light to ease the frustration and help golfers change their mindset. There’s no better place to be than the golf course, so keep it fun and enjoy your round with five of the funniest golf jokes we were able to find.
1. Golf balls are like eggs. They’re white, sold by the dozen, and a week later, you must buy some more.
2. A guy on vacation finishes his round and goes into the clubhouse. The head pro says, “Did you have a good time out there?” The man replies, “Fabulous, thank you.” “You’re welcome,” says the pro. “How did you find the greens?” “Easy, I just walked to the end of the fairways, and there they were.”
3. After a particularly poor round, a golfer spotted a lake as he walked despondently up to the 18th. He looked at his caddie and said, “I’ve played so badly all day, I think I’m going to drown myself in that lake.” The caddie, quick as a flash, replied, “I’m not sure you could keep your head down that long.”
4. “You spend too much time thinking about golf! Do you even remember the day we got married?” “Of course I do! It was the same day I sank that 45-foot putt.”
5. What should you do if your round of golf is interrupted by a lightning storm? Walk around holding your 1 iron above your head, because even Mother Nature can’t hit a 1 iron.
