103+ Golf Birthday Puns That Are Sub-Par (Literally)

Look, we know why you are here. You forgot to buy a card for your dad, your boss, or that one friend who makes their entire personality about swinging metal sticks at a tiny ball. Now you need to scribble something funny inside a blank card before the party starts. We aren’t here to judge you. We are just here to provide the ammunition.

These puns are bad. They are painful. They are exactly what you deserve for procrastinating. If you think these are rough, you should see our Pickleball Jokes which are honestly a different kind of hazard. Let’s get this over with.

The Caddie’s Confusing Questions

You have questions. We have answers that are barely helpful.

What do you write in a golfer’s birthday card?

Write “I hope your birthday is better than your handicap.” It is mean, accurate, and saves you from having to be sentimental.

What is a funny quote for golf?

“Golf is a good walk spoiled.” It is a classic because it is true. You walk around, hit a ball, get angry, and then do it again.

How do you say Happy Birthday in golf terms?

“Have a tee-rific birthday.” Yes, it is terrible. That is why you are on this website.

What do you call a bad golfer?

Usually, you just call them “Dad.” Or you can say they are “sub-par” in the bad way.

The Person To Blame

Umer | Chief Regret Officer

Umer is the founder of PunSpill and a certified disappointment to his high school guidance counselor. He spends his days writing puns that make people groan and his nights arguing with Gerald, his emotional support opossum (and Head of HR).

He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
