Well, maybe not since Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore proved that the players of this great game don’t always have to take themselves so seriously.

More recently, PGA golfer Ben Crane has become the sport’s “funny guy.” His YouTube channel is full of parodies and videos of him “sharing the ins and outs of his game.” We highly recommend taking a look through some of them if you want a good laugh!

Crane’s most popular video at the moment, however, is a venture into the music realm. Along with fellow PGA members Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, and Hunter Mahan, Crane has formed golf’s exclusive rap group, Golf Boys. Their first official music video for their single, “Oh Oh Oh,” debuted about a year ago and has almost six million views.

Now, the Golf Boys are back with a brand new rap! “2.Oh” hit the web Check it out:

This parody video was created as part of an initiative to benefit Charity: Water, an organization committed to providing fresh drinking water to impoverished areas around the world. To learn more about the Golf Boys’ mission and how you can donate to the cause, visit http://mycharitywater.org/GolfBoys, and share the video with your friends! The song is also available on iTunes, in case you just love it that much.
