That’s classic! Do the same near the water cooler for maximum effect—it creates a fun atmosphere!
Has anyone tried engraving silly messages on the balls? Like, ‘You can do better!’ Just remember, make sure they’re balls no one is really attached to!

That’s a clever idea! But could it backfire? What if they get mad during the game?
That reminds me of when I replaced all the tees with really colorful ones. It was a hit! Everyone had a good laugh, and it added some color to the game.

A fun one I recommend is the old ‘ball in the cup’ trick where you hide a golf ball in the cup and watch as they try to figure out why it’s stuck!

I love that! Colorful tees could also lead to a fun competition to see who can create the best tee setup!
I’ve seen a prank where you sneak a mini fan into someone’s bag, then secretly turn it on as they prepare to putt. Just be ready for laughs and maybe a bit of confusion!

That sounds hilarious! Just ensure you’re quick since some folks take their game very seriously!
I remember a prank where a friend had a rubber chicken in their bag. Every time they pulled out a club, the chicken would pop out. A true comedic relief during the game!
That’s brilliant! I might just do that! But just make sure you don’t accidentally scare someone with it!
As much fun as these pranks sound, we should ensure everyone respects the game too. Humor is great, but not everyone enjoys the same level of joking!
I think good-natured practical jokes are a fantastic way to lighten up the game! Just ensure they don’t affect anyone’s play too seriously.
Agreed! I’ve always thought that a funny prank should leave everyone laughing, not frustrated. How do we keep that balance?
It’s essential to know your audience! Some golfers might find certain jokes hilarious while others might see them as overstepping.
Exactly! That’s where we need to draw a line between fun and malicious pranks.
I once swapped my buddy’s golf balls with some that looked identical but were much lighter. He noticed when he tee’d off and lost it! Good times.

That’s hilarious but ensure you never do that in a serious tournament! Timing is key.
Totally! Pranking in casual rounds is fine. In a serious setting, it can ruin the spirit of the game. Any thoughts on where to draw the line?
I think the best pranks are non-intrusive, like hiding the flagstick or putting a whoopee cushion on a bench. Just harmless fun!
Those kinds of pranks are great! But you need to consider the personalities involved.
