A guy is golfing at an upscale course and goes to hit the ball from the red tees. A staff member is driving by in his cart and grabs a megaphone. "Will the gentleman on hole four please move his ball back to the white markers, and not hit from the ladies tee box?"

The real truth is that most people who play golf should probably be playing from the forwards tees. If you're scoring 90-100 then you're too far back; par is 70-73 for most courses.

Of course, since they labeled them women's/men's/pro tees most guys refuse to play from anything but the men's tees which slows the entire course down.

I paid for the whole course, I'm gonna play the whole course.

I don't know enough about golf to get this one :(

To start a hole of golf, you hit from the tee box. There are usually three tee boxes: ladies, men's, and professionals. The ladies are closest to the hole and therefore the "easiest".

The joke is that the official in the cart thunks he's cheating by starting at the closer tee, but the golfer is implying he's so bad at golf, that he did hit from the men's, but only hit the ball a puny distance, just far enough to reach the women's tee.

I'm so bad at golf that I haven't even gotten to the ladies tee several times.

In my golfing groups, if somebody doesn’t hit it past the front tee box, the next round of drinks is on them.

One of my college buddies joked that his dad's golf rule was if you missed the ladies tees, you had to take the follow-up shot with your pants around your ankles. I thought he was kidding until I went golfing with the two of them and his dad muffed a shot near the end of the round.

In my group, back in the day, we called failure to drive past the ladies’ tees a dickout. As in, that’s how you had to play the rest of the hole. Never saw the rule enforced.

[-]

aw_shux@reddit

Pro tip: don’t go commando when golfing with that guy’s dad.

[-]

Mackntish@reddit

Jesus God, I would owe 18 rounds of drinks.

[-]

Sad-Main-1324@reddit

In my group ball hang out for hole.

[-]

looseintheyard@reddit

It’s gotta suck to be the one who has to get 18 rounds of drinks.

[-]

NameToUseOnReddit@reddit

Getting 18 rounds might be optimistic for me, but I also golf maybe once a year at the most.

APacketOfWildeBees@reddit

Thanks so much! Appreciated :)

Oh. OK. Thanks.

I’ll move on now.

I understand golf, and still needed the explanation. Thx.

[-]

Head_Razzmatazz7174@reddit

I found that out when my SO insisted on trying to teach me how to golf.

[-]

cromstantinople@reddit

There are different starting spots for each hole depending on skill level. The joke is that the guys first shot was so bad that it only went as far as the beginner starting spot.

[-]

APacketOfWildeBees@reddit

Oh that's hilarious!! Thank you so much :)

[-]

XxChocodotxX@reddit

The ladies’ tee box is usually closer to the hole than the normal tee boxes, but not by much, so the guy had a really bad 1st shot to have only made it that far.

[-]

APacketOfWildeBees@reddit

Thank you!! Legend :)

[-]

Not always a lot closer. I've played on courses where the ladies' tee was about the same distance from the hole as the mens' tee - maybe a couple of feet closer if you measured. But the ladies' tee was way off to the side and angled differently, giving an easier approach to the fairway.

[-]

carmium@reddit

Q comes to mind: Do many women dismiss the ladies' tees and use the men's anyway?

[-]

techman710@reddit

The women who are good at golf will play the men's tees. The guys I played with were 10-12 handicaps and we had a girl from the Jr College golf team that would play with us from the same tees. She was highly competitive and beat us regularly.

[-]

carmium@reddit

Kinda what I was envisioning! 🙋‍♀️

[-]

Funny247365@reddit

Yes but she would get blown out by the mens team at her school.

[-]

techman710@reddit

So would I, what's your point.

[-]

scooll5@reddit

In my experience, most will play from the women's tees. Though there are also almost always more than 3 tee boxes as well, so its not necessarily mens', womens' and pros'. Often times there will be a juniors' tee at the front, and an expert tee between the white tees and the pros' tee box.

[-]

carmium@reddit

Didn't know there could be five! Thanks for the info.

[-]

capnfatpants@reddit

It makes more sense when you read it correctly. I saw that he was hitting from the “red trees” and was thoroughly confused.

[-]

MadACR@reddit

Yeah, I read guy as gay at first. It came off way different.

[-]

Soft_Chipmunk_8051@reddit

Yeah most things make more sense when read correctly. Weird, huh?

[-]

DoFr56@reddit

Exactly the reason to believe in reincarnation.

If you tell me that if I come back to this world as a lesbian, I get to make love to beautiful women and hit from the front tee box?

I’m in!!

[-]

rdcpro@reddit

Who among us has not done this very thing?

[-]

I generally don't drive around the golf club with a megaphone.

[-]

BuckyBeaver69@reddit

I do and drive through the locker room showers honking my horn and telling them not to drop the soap.

[-]

Much more fun to do this on the beach.

If you really wanna get the ladies to flock to you, a cooler with beer/wine coolers and a megaphone.

Advanced mode is a karaoke machine…. Golfers love it….

Jessthinking@reddit

I did that but refused to follow the league requirement that I play the rest of the hole with my dick out.

It’s because of Harambe isn’t it.

Beat me to it. No pun intended.

I don't bring a megaphone when I go golfing...

[-]

Select-Touch-6794@reddit

My problem golfing is that I stand too close to the ball. After I hit it.

[-]

Zomgzombehz@reddit

Megaphone can fuck off. Dude plays the tees he knows he needs to play.

[-]

lukin187250@reddit

In all seriousness there has been a break from the idea of "men's" or "ladies" tees and just tees for different distance options that people should engage with.
