So, you want to give the golfer in your life a funny golf gift? You want to make them laugh, and maybe even make their playing partners laugh when they show it off. But you don't want to give a gift they get a chuckle out of, then shove in a drawer and forget about.
I've been the recipient of countless golf gifts over the years, and I've given my fair share as well. I've seen firsthand which gifts end up in the junk drawer, and which ones spread the cheer. These are the best funny golf gifts that golfers actually use.
Every golfer wants to feel like Tiger on the tee. This set of tees, depicting Tiger in his traditional Sunday red, hits all the criteria of a great gift. It's unique, makes people smile, and is guaranteed to elicit some banter amongst the group on the first tee.
The Battle Putt Golf Pong putting game from GoSports puts a golf twist on a lively party game. Spark up some friendly competition and let the games begin at any party, tailgate, or barbeque. This green lays flat and rolls true, so even when the party's over, it'll get plenty of use as a practice putting mat.
Does the golfer in your life need a constant reminder not to take the game too seriously? How about this "the price is wrong" ball marker, with the late Bob Barker throwing a jab at Happy Gilmore? You really can't be too upset with the game when you pull this ball marker out of your pocket on every hole.
Do you know a golfer who could improve their skills at discreetly toting canned beverages around the golf course? This Pins and Aces beer sleeve keeps seven cans cold, and with the stackable design, it sits hidden in plain sight, right in a slot in their golf bag.
I wouldn't recommend using these tees yourself. If you want to get into a playing partner's head, however, this set makes a great gift. With trash talk like "Stick to cheating" and "Re-grip your ball retriever" on each tee, the whole will get a laugh.
Here's a cheeky way to make the golfer who hasn't made a hole-in-one feel like they have, at least for a few fleeting moments. At first glance, this t-shirt appears to boast a bucket-list achievement for every golfer. Upon further inspection, it tells a much more relatable, and comical, story.
Everybody knows a golfer who is hesitant to mutter the two most satisfying words in golf, "that's good." This t-shirt establishes to all their playing partners, in no uncertain terms, that they'll be putting everything out today.
If The Endless Summer had a golf-centric sibling, this would be the poster. This hoodie was made for the golfer in your life who thrives on vintage vibes.
Don't fact-check this, but probably 90% of golfers' natural shot shape is a slice. An instructor in his early 20s, just beginning a career as a PGA Professional, once told me that the slice is the ultimate job security.
Suffice it to say, a natural slice is something every golfer can relate to. And Natural Ice, well, most of us can relate to that, as well. That makes this Natty Slice headcover genius, and one that may never stop getting wise cracks on the course.
The thing that makes golf so hard is that the harder you try, the worse you get. That statement might not always prove true, but it's a pretty fair blanket statement. That's what makes this Golf Fore Dummies headcover so funny. The lengthy list of to-do's almost always results in a "FORE!"
If you're serious about iron covers, you need to find new golf partners who aren't afraid to give you some tough love. Fair warning, these iron covers are one funny golf gift on this list that will get your recipient laughed at, not laughed with.
Here's an idea: gift these to the loser of your fantasy football league and make them use iron covers for an entire season. That beats making them play in a U.S. Open qualifier and distracting a player who has a chance at advancing.
Scotty Scheffler has one of the most infamous mug shots in golf history. Even Scheffler himself has made a joke or two about the whole situation. Now you can give the golfer in your life that mug shot on their own mug. Choose from 11 oz or 15 oz mugs.
We're not sure if a good Caddyshack reference will ever go out of style. We do know definitevely that, coming up on 45 years since its debut, they're still in.
If Bushwood Country Club actually existed, this gopher would undoubtedly be the logo. For the golfer who can still spout off Caddyshack quotes by heart, this towel makes a great gift that will drum up plenty of laughs.
They say "be where your feet are," and for the golfer who would rather be at the course, but is too often stuck in the office, these funny golf socks can provide a bit of an escape. The socks have golf patterns on top with funny golf sayings under the feet like "I love you more than you love golf," and "It takes a lot of balls to golf like I do."
It's hard to say which will get more laughs, the clever golf-pun labels on these beer bottles, or the sight of the golf ball teed up on a miniture beer bottle. With labels that read "In the BUSH Right" (instead of BUSH Light) and "PAR" (instead of PBR) these beer bottle golf tees will get lots of laughs. As an added bonus, the tees are thicker than regular tees, so they'll last longer than the ones you're used to.
No list of funny golf gifts is complete without the Potty Putter game. While we can't guarantee every recipient will use this set to practice their three-footers, this is one of the most popular golf gag gifts of this decade. It's also now available in a pink edition for ladies.
This funny ball marker is guaranteed to draw comments and banter on the course. As if the middle finger itself weren't enough, it actually pops up. And apparently golfers of all ages can appreciate this sense of humor, as there are as many reviewers who say they purchased it as a retirement gift as there are who report buying it for their own kids (adult kids, we're assuming).
