ABSTRACT
Of all the potential social interactions in golf, those that occur between a player and a coach (i.e., anyone who formally instructs golfers) may be particularly critical. These interactions can bring new people to the game, positively influence the lives of young people and help to crown major champions. One area that perhaps deserved more attention is the use of humour and how it may be used in coaching to strengthen relationships, improve instruction and enhance coping strategies.
