Okay, so today I decided to dive into the wacky world of funny golfer names. It all started when my buddy, let’s call him “Shankapotamus,” kept, well, shanking the ball. It got me thinking, there’s gotta be some gold out there in terms of goofy golf nicknames.

Brainstorming Session
First, I just started jotting down anything that came to mind. This was pure, unfiltered silliness:
- Colonel Bogey– Because, classic.
- Sir Slices-a-Lot – Self-explanatory, I think.
- The Sandman – For the guy who spends more time in the bunker than on the green.
- Putt-Putt Psycho.-for someone take too much time to Putt.
Digging Deeper
Then, I figured I’d hit up the internet, see what the collective brain of the web had come up * typed in “funny golf names” and boom, instant entertainment.
I spent a good hour just scrolling through forums and list. I even found some name generators, which were pretty hilarious. Most of it was pretty corny, but I found a few gems:
- Fairway to Heaven(or Hell)-Depend your skills.
- Grip it and Sip it-For the beer lovers.
- The Albatross-Rare bird.
The Final Cut
After all that digging and brainstorming, I narrowed it down to my personal favorites. These are the ones I’ll actually be using on the course:
- Shankapotamus – Still my #1, sorry buddy.
- Worm Burner – For those low, screaming shots.
- The Designated Driver – Might not be the best golfer, but hey, they get you home safe.
- Chili Dipper – I don’t like it when I see someone did it.
So, that was my deep dive into funny golf names. It was a pretty productive day, if I do say so myself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go practice my swing so I don’t end up with a nickname like “Duffman.”
