What’s in the Golf Quiz?

This quiz will test your knowledge of the gentleman’s game with questions that include:

  • Essential rules and regulations (like how many clubs you can stuff in your bag before you’re breaking the rules)
  • Famous tournaments and their quirky traditions (yes, we’re looking at you, green jacket!)
  • Legendary players (including that guy they call ‘The Golden Bear’)
  • Technical aspects of the game (because knowing your slice from your hook might save you from taking out a window)

From the tranquil greens of Augusta to the windswept links of St Andrews, this quiz will take you on a journey through the world of golf. You might even learn why golfers shout “FORE!” instead of something more obvious like “INCOMING!” or “DUCK!”

Golf Quiz

This quiz is for everyone from the weekend warriors who spend more time in the bunkers than on the beach, to the armchair experts who can recite Jack Nicklaus’s major victories while napping. Challenge your golfing buddies to see who really knows their stuff. Just remember – unlike real golf, there are no mulligans in this quiz! Grab your virtual putter and give it your best shot. Don’t worry if you bogey a few questions – even Tiger Woods had to start somewhere!

Preview Quiz Content

This section contains all of the questions that could be a part of this quiz. The quiz will choose 15 random questions from the pool below. If you've found this section feel free to take a look but to start the quiz you should press "Start Quiz". You may also be thinking that some information is missing for some of the below questions and you'd be right! The answers listed below only contain answers that appear in the quiz, so as a hypothetical example, if a question asks about what a golfer would yell if they saw their ball heading straight for someone's flashy car parked by the fairway and 4 options are given in the question, only the correct answer will appear in the below information. This is because this supplemental information is about the quiz itself and not intended as a comprehensive list. We hope you found the quiz to be entertaining and informative. If you haven't taken it yet, Good Luck!
