I’m just asking fore a friend
This is all fore the best
You’re un-fore-gettable
Get down and hit the fore
Fore-get me nots
Nice shot, shankapotamus

You get a gold par
A bar is born
It’s a hole new game

Favourite Golf Puns

I’m reviewing the course material
You are tee-rific
It’s club-bering time
Green and bear it
You must strike while the iron is hot
Over the hills and fore away
It’s all fore the best
Everybody trap your hands
Money doesn’t grow on tees
Lit up like a Christmas tee!
Bread always falls putter side down
Balls well that ends well!
Caught with your hand in the cookie par
Par none
No holds parred
Behind pars
Raise the par

Jetsetting Golf Puns

My golf ball is floating near the Persian Golf
Traveling around the golf coast
I’ll be flying on a golf-steam jet
In the golf of Mexico

I am the golf father
Let’s do the bogey-woogie
May the course be with you
Remember the fore fathers
The Bogey-man
To tee or not to tee?
I am Iron Man
I rule with an iron fist
I sit on the Iron Throne
This guy spends more time in the sand than David Hasselhoff
Golf forth and prosper
Float like a butterfly, sting like a tee

Crowd-Pleasing Golf Puns

It takes a lot of balls to golf the way I do
I golf you on my mind
Good times as par as the eye can see
Putter late than never!
Golfing on election day? Make sure you cast an absent-tee ballot!
Address the golf ball. Hello, ball!
Swinging in the rain
Ill-eagle
Peg and barrow
He’s going fore in life
Don’t get a tee in your bonnet
We all get equal opportuni-tees
I’ll tee up the loose ends
It’s a hole new ball game
