20 Funny Golf Gifts Golfers Will Actually Use

So, you want to give the golfer in your life a funny golf gift that will make them laugh, and maybe even make their playing partners and fellow party-goers laugh when they show it off. What you don't want, however, is to give them a gift they get a chuckle out of, then shove in a drawer and forget about.

I've been fortunate enough to be the recipient of countless golf gifts over the years, and I've given my fair share as well. I've seen first-hand which gifts are likely to end up in the junk drawer, and which ones will spread the cheer. These are the 20 best funny golf gifts that golfers will 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 clever, 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.

Golfers have a weird obsession with turf. What other sport has players bemoaning the challenges of Kikuyu around the greens, yearning for Bermuda instead?

This Turf hat from adidas is a splendid nod to that golf-specific quirk, perfectly refined into a design that works on the course, and off of it.

Despite women's participation in golf steadily increasing, there are still some men who need to be reminded you're on the course for your own enjoyment, not theirs. For the ladies who want to make a statement without saying a word, this hat is the perfect gift.

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 discretely toting canned beverages around the golf course? This beer sleeve from Pins and Aces 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 getting these tees for yourself, but if you want to get into a playing partner's head, this makes a great gift. With trash talk like "Stick to cheating" and "Re-grip your ball retriever" printed on each tee (25 different messages per 50-pack of tees), the whole group is bound to 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, but 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. 

Crewneck sweatshirts are in, and they even make a great layer on the course. For the golfer with a one-track mind who is always eager to give you the blow-by-blow of every round, this is the perfect sweatshirt.

If The Endless Summer had a golf-centric sibling, this would be the poster. If there's a golfer in your life who thrives on vintage vibes, this hoodie was made for them. 

Who says golf gloves have to be boring? The golfer on the receiving end of your gift will get a kick out of any of the Chameleon golf gloves. This pattern highlights most golfer's favorite 19th-hole combo, tacos and tequila. You can also choose from Bigfoot, Bogies and Stogies, and Apollo 18-themed gloves.

Don't fact-check this, but probably 90% of golfers' natural shot shape is a slice. In fact, I once had an instructor in his early 20s, just beginning a career as a PGA Professional, refer to the slice as 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, shooting 115, and potentially distracting a player who actually has a chance at getting through.

Scotty Scheffler has one of the most infamous mugshots in golf history, and 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, but we do know that coming up on 45 years since its debut, they're still decidedly 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.
