Prank golf

Norbert666 · 3 May 2006 at 09:53

I'm going on a stag weekend in a couple of weeks. It's a golfing weekend.
Some of the guys take golf very seriously, so I want to jolly things up a bit.
Does anyone know of any jokey-golf-trick-type-shops? Somewhere that will sell exploding balls, and balls that won't go straight?

Thanks

I find most golf shops stock them. Avoid ones that will mess up a decent shot, just go for the exploding ones, less shouting then :rolleyes:

Edit: Take you time planning the switch and don't let him handle the prank one. Wayyyy too obvious

Cool. Are there golf shops online? (as in obviously there are, but what is a decent one)

Also, what specific pranks are good?
I thought the odd-weighted ball would be perfect for putting...

Golf ball which won't putt straight and an exploding golf ball.

How about a mixed bag?

Be aware that many golfers have no sense of humour regarding the great game and will be severely ticked off. make sure you know these guys won't just bury a wedge in your skull.

I've used one of those exploding balls on a mate before. Was hilarious! We had to vacate the tee soon after though, it made a right mess lol.

Go for the exploding ball if they take it seriously. That way they can re-take there shot.

And there in lies the humour

Serves them right for being so anal about such a silly game!!

Consider that a round of golf takes four hours or so. If you pass off your playing partners, how much fun will you have when your partners refuse to play with you?

I think argos do the balls too, Im sure they did the last time i looked.

A mate of mine bought a weighted pool ball from ebay and it was the the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Try there. I think the exploding ball would be best, but I've never tried them.

The expression is priceless, but it does get white powder everywhere: especially on clothes.

That may be a problem. The place is some exclusive club...

You want a disco ball, lights up and flashes whe you hit it, also easier to find as well

you can buy remote control golf balls as my mate brought one into 6th form .
Everytime hes about to take a shot move the ball so he miss's and looks a fool

From Jackass the Movie:

Hide in the bushes, then as soon as your mate goes to take a shot have an air horn, and press it

. Becareful though on jackass the golfers threw clubs at them, tee'd off into the trees etc. Was funny though
