While it's okay to be funny about situations and experiences, never mock their actual golf skills or handicap. Keep the humor focused on situations, not abilities.

Avoid Overly Technical Questions

These are meant to be fun and lighthearted. Don't turn them into golf instruction sessions or technical discussions unless they specifically want to go there.

Don't Force the Humor

If they're not in the mood for funny questions, be ready to switch to more serious golf topics. Read their energy and adjust accordingly.
