Best Golf Jokes

39. One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.

He asked the first man, “Why are you eating grass?”

“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied. “We have to eat grass to stay alive.”

“Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

“But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.”

“Bring them along,” the lawyer replied. Turning to the second poor man he stated, “You may come with us, also.”

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, “But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!”

“Bring them all!” the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind.”

“Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high!”

40. A rabbi, a priest and a pastor got together for a round of golf. After the round, while relaxing at the 19th hole, they began bragging about how many people from their respective congregations each had converted to their respective religion.

The rabbi explained that each year around Passover and Yom Kippur he gave an appeal from the pulpit encouraging non-members to join his synagogue and that the response was very positive.

On average he claimed to bring in about 60 new members per year into his congregation.

The pastor claimed that around Easter and Christmas each year his appeal from the pulpit also resulted in about 60 new members joining his church each year.

The priest remained silent.

Finally the priest stated, “I’ve got you both beat. Every spring during Lent, on Good Friday, and on New Year’s eve I appeal from the pulpit for people to come join my church.”

“And do you know how many join my church each year on average?”

The rabbi and pastor looked at each other in amazement. The priest continued – “Last year alone on those three occasions, I brought in a total of 364 new members into my church!”

The rabbi looked disgusted and said, “364? How do you do that?”

The priest replied, “It’s simple really. I have a big service over Easter for all my regulars and right at the end when I make my appeal I say to the congregation – ‘Will all of you who were members of another church please stand up?’ – and they ALL stand!”

41. One day a woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.

“That’s amazing,” the woman said. “How old are you?’

“Twenty-six,” he said.

42. The Pope met with his cardinals to discuss a proposal from Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel.

“Your Holiness,” said one of his cardinals, “Mr. Netanyahu wants to challenge you to a game of golf to show the friendship and ecumenical spirit shared by the Jewish and Catholic faiths.”

The Pope thought it was a good idea but had never held a golf club in his hand.

“Don’t we have a cardinal to represent me?” asked the Pope.

The cardinal said, “No one who plays golf well enough.”

“But what about Jack Nicklaus? He’s a golfer,” said the Pope.

“He’s an American,” replied the cardinal.

“What about Arnold Palmer? He’s a Catholic,” said the Pope.

“He’s too old and retired,” said the cardinal.

Finally, they determined that Tiger Woods was the best Catholic golfer with the chance of beating Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Pope called Tiger and gave him the offer. Tiger was honored and said he would do it.

On the day of the match, Netanyahu arrived at the Vatican for the golf game. Tiger met him at the gate wearing his Sunday best – a cardinal’s robe. Netanyahu looked puzzled.

Tiger told him he was ready for their game but knew dress codes were very important at the Vatican. Netanyahu wasn’t going to be out-dressed by Tiger and changed to his own cardinal’s robe.

After 9 holes, with Netanyahu leading the match, he and Tiger saw the Pope approaching the course in his golf cart.

Netanyahu and Tiger went to the Pope and knelt in reverence. Netanyahu said to him, “I will step aside because I didn’t know we would be playing for you.”

The Pope said, “No, no. Keep playing. You guys decide who is the sportsmanship winner of the match and I’ll play the winner for the championship.”

Tiger said, “No, Your Holiness, I stepped aside because of my faith, and so I cannot compete against you.”

So the Pope played Netanyahu himself for the title. After 9 more holes the Pope was leading Netanyahu by 3 strokes.

At that point, Netanyahu caught a glimpse of one of the cardinals’ robes under a tree. He ran to see who was under it!

When he lifted the robe, Tiger Woods said, “Shhhhhh! I don’t want the Pope to know I’m here!”

His wife raised her head off the green and stared at him.

“I’m dying here and you’re putting?”

“Don’t worry dear,” said the husband calmly, “they found a doctor on the second hole and he’s coming to help you.”

“Well how long will it take for him to get here?” she asked feebly.

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, ‘Touchdown, tie score.’

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, ‘Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.’

Now the pressure is on the old man. He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he’s got, and accidentally poops in the bed.

The wife says, ‘What the hell was that?’

The old man says, ‘Half time, switch sides.

The doctor suggested they write notes to each other so they wouldn’t forget things. The elderly couple thought this was a great idea.

When they arrived home, the husband said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And write that down so you won’t forget?”

“I won’t forget,” said his wife.

“Well,” said the husband, “I’d also like some strawberries on top. You better write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”

“I will not forget the strawberries,” said the wife.

“You also better write down that I want whipped cream on top!” insisted the husband. “I know you’ll forget that. Now be sure to write it down.”

The wife said, “I won’t forget the whipped cream!”
