To lighten things up...

[Dodger]

A few golf jokes I recently found on the tinterweb....

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. - Sam Snead

I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool. - George Brett

Actually, the only time I ever took out a one-iron was to kill a tarantula, and I took 7 to do that. - Jim Murray

The only sure rule in golf is, he who has the fastest cart never has to play a bad lie. - Micky Mantle

Sex and golf are the only two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them. - Kevin Costner

I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par. - Chi Chi Rodriguez

After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye. - Chi Chi Rodriguez

The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree. - Brian Weis

Swing hard in case you hit it. - Dan Marino

My favourite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered. - Lord Robertson

Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air. - Jack Benny

There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground. - Ben Hogan

Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you're the best. - Jack Nicklaus

The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf. It's almost a law. - H G Wells

I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course. - Billy Graham

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play at it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf. - Bob Hope

While playing golf today, I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake. - Henry Youngman

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. - Jack Lemmon

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work. - Lee Trevino

I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced. - Lee Trevino

Shame its not true - of golf

The worse I am at golf, I just need the feel of the odd good stroke, to enjoy it.

With sex it's more to do with the better my Mrs pretends I am, the more I enjoy that as well. I'm saying nothing about the feeling of the odd good stroke as far as sex is concerned.
