What do you call a golfer who cries a lot?
A bogey man!
Why This Joke Works
"Bogey man" is the boogeyman — the scary creature from under the bed — but in golf, a bogey is one stroke over par, which is a small but stinging disappointment. A golfer who cries at bogeys is both haunted by their scores AND doing a very accurate impression of a childhood monster.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say "bogey man" with just a hint of spooky theatrics, then let the golf meaning settle in over the scare.
Perfect for:
- •After bogey-ing a hole when someone's visibly frustrated on the course
- •A Halloween golf tournament where the theming writes itself
- •On the 19th hole when someone's reviewing their scorecard with dismay
