The 5 best (and most usable) disc golf puns

There are TONS of these things out there …

So if your favorite doesn’t crack my top-five list, don’t get butt-hurt about it.

Remember: The goal isn’t only clever puns, but puns you could actually use on a regular basis. For example, as much as I love the idea of telling someone “I need to clear my Sinus” after a putt, I don’t putt with a Latitude 64 Sinus – and I don’t know anybody who does, either.

The pun-play on that one is incredible …

But sadly, it won’t see much action.

Looking to up your dad-joke game?

1. ‘Parbecue’

The Disc Golf Network makes it seem like star frames are a regular occurrence in disc golf. Yes, at the professional level, they happen. For amateurs, though, they’re not so common …

What IS common, however, is the “parbecue.” Or, in other words, when everyone on the card scores a par on the same hole. In addition to the disaster-free scores and clever wordplay, use the term “parbecue” enough, and you might well find yourself sitting down to a post-round feast.

* Note: In my mind, it’s not as good, but “par-tay” is another pun worth testing.

2. ‘Discappear’

This is a personal favorite.

It’s subtle, yet powerful.

The best of puns are so strong, should you say them fast enough, your audience might not even pick up on your next-level wit. “Disappear” and “discappear” are VERY similar-sounding.

In addition to that, it’s been my individual experience that a well-timed use of “discappear” or “discappearance” can put a half-smile on somebody’s face when hunting for a lost frisbee – an innately stressful situation. Either that, or they’ll want to wring your neck on the spot …

Wordplay is worth the risk.

3. ‘Parker brothers’

This isn’t an every-round kind of pun …

Here’s what’s required:

• You need to be playing doubles golf.
• You need a talented partner.
• You need to be male.

On second thought, scratch that last one …

“Parker sisters” works, too.

Back-to-back, should the two of you park a hole, feel free to bust out the title for yourself. Or, if you witness another duo accomplish the feat, lay it on ‘em. Also, it’d make for a nifty team name, should you and a buddy decide to take a stab at competing in a “Bogey Bros Battle.”

4. ‘Branch manager’

Trees.

They’re everywhere.

Naturally, much of a disc golfer’s pun weaponry must cut them down to size …

I’m a riot.

Should a sturdy branch own your mid-flight frisbee, without a moment’s hesitation, label it a tool-brained “branch manager.” Of course, should a smaller, more phantom-like branch do the same thing, you’d refer to it as an “assistant TO the branch manager.” #BeetsOrBust

5. ‘Treenied,’ ‘treejected’ and ‘treedirection’

More in the way of trees …

This stuff is EVERY round ammunition.

“Treenied” and “treejected” play to the downside of arboreal interference. But don’t forget that a “treedirection” can be a good thing. Regardless of outcome, should your disc come into contact with any kind of bush, shrub or sapling, you’ve got a quip teed-up for the occasion …

Brilliant.

I don’t beg for blog comments …

It’s dumb.
