The 47-year-old actor is an avid fan of the sport and has been playing since he was a child, when he used to hit the green with his dad as a way of “spending time with him”.
He said: "It was a way for me to go out and spend time with him, and I always got his hand-me-down clubs. So it was always something that I remember it going all the way back to when I was really young.”
And now that Josh is a dad himself to seven-year-old son Axl - whom he has with his ex-wife Fergie - he hopes to create the same bond with his own son.
He added: “[Axl] likes to go ride along in the cart with me. You go hit a few balls with a small kid, you go run through the sand traps. I spend most of the time raking sand traps, when I go out with him, than I do actually golfing. But that's how you get them hooked on the game. I don't ever push it on him. I just try to expose it to him and over time and hopefully he'll take a liking to it and start trying to get there at some point.
“That's how my dad taught me. We would go out and just pick up different colored tees. That'd be the tee that you put the ball on, and I'd pick the colored ones, and my sister and I would get so excited to tee up and collect these little tees off the course. It's one of my first memories of golf.”
Josh has been spending more time than ever with his son during the coronavirus pandemic, which he has been spending in his cabin in Minnesota.
Speaking to People magazine, he said: "I spent a lot of really great time with my son out there. We never felt like we were locked inside because out at the cabin, you're just out there in the woods.
"That's being outside, that's developing my land out there, that's spending time with my son. We tried to make the most out of something that could have been really depressing."
