Funny Golf Sayings

For the average golfer, a day on the course is less about hitting every shot perfectly and more about the joy of the game, the beauty of the outdoors, and, of course, the laughs shared with friends. That’s where these funny golf sayings come in. It’s in those moments of friendly ribbing after a wayward drive or a missed putt where the true spirit of golf shines brightest:

Bad Putts

• “Right club though.” – When they miss a putt.
• “Other than speed and direction, that was a nice putt.”
• “Look behind you… you dropped your lipstick” – For putts left short.
• “Had it in her mouth then the kids walked in” – For putts that lip out.
• “What kept that out” – When a putt misses by a wide margin.
• “You can definitely 3-putt from there” – No matter how close to the pin they are.
• “There you go, defying physics again.” – When a putt breaks unexpectedly or doesn’t break as it should.

Bad Shots

• Low Runners:
  • “Nice Putt”
• Chucked or topped shots that go 20 yards:
  • “I got eyes”
  • “Saw it land at least”
  • “Ah, it opens up over there”
  • “Found it! Middle of the fairway”
  • “Good idea keeping the wind out of it”
  • “They serve drinks on flights shorter than that”
  • “I think the problem is you’re standing too close to the ball… after it lands.”
  • “Try hitting more of the little ball and less of the big ball”
  • “You got too much earth on that one.”
• Accidently tapped ball and just rolls off the tee:
  • “It’s straight!”
• Hitting a Tree:
  • “Who made you branch manager?”
  • “What did you hit there, your tree wood?”
  • “Looks like your ball took the scenic route this time.”
  • “Who put that tree there?! I need to speak to the manager.”
• Hooked shot:
  • “Catch any fish with that hook?”

  • Randomly yelling “There it isn’t!”
