All golf jokes are pretty much the same, basically involving the golfer’s obsession with the game to the exclusion of everything else. Here’s one of my favorites, inspired by today’s Arlo & Janis cartoon.
A husband and wife are playing golf. They arrive at the 12th hole where the wife tees off and hits a perfect drive. The husband follows and shanks his shot off into the woods. They eventually find his ball directly behind a shed blocking his shot to the green. The man is livid, but his wife points out that if they open the doors on both sides of the shed, he had a direct shot through the shed to the green. The man opens the door on his side and the wife opens the door on the opposite side. As his wife is holding open the door on the other side, the husband swings, but as the ball goes through it strikes the wife in the head and kills her instantly.
The man refuses to golf again for a year. Eventually, his friends convince him to get back out. Sure enough, they find themselves at the same course, back on the 12th tee. The husband tees off and once again shanks his shot behind the very same shed. After contemplating his options for a few moments, his friend comes over and says:
“Why don’t you open the door on your side of the shed and I will hold open the door on the opposite side of the shed and you can hit your shot to the green.”
“I can’t do that,” the man replied.
“Why not?”
“The last time I tried that I double-bogeyed the hole”
