Not everything on the golf course is funny, but famous comedians often turn out to be some of the best promoters and ambassadors of the game.

By Joel BeersPublished: November, 2009



Put a comedian on the golf course and suddenly what seems to be a game for affluent people transforms into everybody’s game. Comedians do more for golf than make it enjoyable for those of us who love to watch the sport — charity golf tournaments looking to attract players and raise money are aware of their allure, which is why so many comedians participate in golf tournaments across Southern California.

Following are 10 of our most favorite golfing comedians who, through embracing the game and bringing their particular talents to the course, have helped make golf more accessible and fun for millions of people, while also raising exposure and much-needed money for philanthropic endeavors.

Being in the entertainment business myself, an avid golfer and have run celebrity golf touraments in Southern CA, celeb's have played a great role in raising money and promoting the game going back to the days of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Jack Benny, Jackie Gleason and many more. Stapled in my mind are Bob Hope and Bing Crosby who really made celeb tournaments popular. Today, Ray Romero, Bill Murray and George Lopez keep the light bright and the ball crooked on the golf course. Let us not forget (never made the cut) Jack Lemmon, bless his heart.
