Dad Jokes: 10 Funny Phrases on Golf

dadjokes.jpg

Golf can be a frustrating game; one look at Shane Lowry’s face Sunday at Oakmont could tell you that. In a world filled with oversized drivers, easy-to-hit hybrids, forgiving irons and dual-balanced putters, sometimes the best tool in a golfer’s bag can be a sense of humor.

In many cases on the golf course, laughter can be the best medicine. You can’t erase the double bogey you just made on the previous hole, your pencil can. So in the words of one Bobby McFerrin, don’t worry, be happy. Smile at mistakes and laugh off shanks, after all, golf is a game of managing mishits.

In honor of Father’s Day (honestly, what’s better than a perfectly executed “dad joke”), the team here at LostGolfBalls has compiled a list of 10 amazingly accurate and hilarious quotes on golf.

“It took me seventeen years to get three thousands hits in baseball. It took one afternoon on the golf course.” – Hank Aaron

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
