There are times when we may like a joke, simply because it involves something we enjoy. That is how many people feel about jokes that find people out on the golf course.
The joke we have for you below is also one about golfing, but you don’t even have to understand golfing to appreciate the humor behind it.
It is just something that is designed to make you laugh and it does a good job of it.
There are some interesting parts of this joke that involve the story, which is an important part of joke telling. It really is the punchline, however, that will get you chuckling.
Arthur is 75 years old and played golf every day since his retirement 15 years ago.
One day he arrives home looking downcast. “That’s it,” he tells his wife. “I’m giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I couldn’t see where it went.”
His wife sympathizes and makes him a cup of tea.
As they sit down she says, “Why don’t you take my brother with you and give it one more try.”
“That’s no good,” sighs Arthur, “your brother is 85. He can’t help.”
“He may be 85,” says the wife, “but his eyesight is perfect.”
So the next day Arthur heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law.
He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway. He turns to the brother-in-law and says, “Did you see the ball?”
“Of course I did!” Answers the brother-in-law. “I have perfect eyesight.”
“Where did it go?” Arthur asks.
“I don’t remember.”
