    Golf: but with clubs that are actually well designed to hit a small ball where you want it to go.

    Ball goes where you want it to? That wouldn’t be “golf”.

    Right. My new sport would need a name.

    Our baseball coach in high school used to have a bat in his golf bag. He would use it on occasion and was quite impressive in distance, not so much in accuracy !

    I'd like to take up golf, but I can't drink that much beer.

    How about doing away with the club and loading the ball in about, what, a 4-gauge?

    They make golf ball launchers for AR's

    Would have to keep it challenging. I’m thinking a golf ball mortar tube would be the ticket for a fun game.

    Not sure about the “putting” part, though.

    How about when you hook or slice, your friends shoot the ball out of the air with their shotguns?

    (After all, this IS a gun foruml)

    the ball goes where you want it to,,,

    the club would then be a 'Put-er', vs a 'putter'

    Ball hit to left, hook

    Ball hit right down the middle, miracle

    If the pros can't make it go where they want it to go with the fancy clubs they have, then there is no hope for the rest of us.

    Loooooong ago........I once center-hit a golf ball, that I had set on top of the 25 yard target frame, with my Savage-Anschutz 54M (22Mag).

    You would NOT believe how fast that golf ball made it to the 100 yard berm!!!🤪🤯

    I have a golf ball launcher. Was going to use it for a fund raiser at charity tournaments ($5-10 per shot, closest to a flag in the fairway). The problem is it goes too far with 5.56mm blanks, like 400 yards! I'm thinking of venting it to control distance. A friend has a machine shop, and he suggested angling the vents about 30 degrees forward to lessen the muzzle blast. I am using an H&R single shot with threaded barrel.

    Any ideas?

    In the past, I have described what we call "Wyoming Golf" here.


    Each player tosses a golf ball underhand as near or far as he likes. The player with the closer ball shoots first with a .22 (pistol or rifle, but both the same) Taking turns from within the "tee box", each player gets three, four, or five shots (par 3, etc) and the winner is the one whose ball goes farthest. If your ball lands behind an obstacle, that's tough. After each "hole" you toss a new ball.

    That sounds like a lot of fun!

    You do have to be very aware of ricochets, but it sure is!

    A .22 bullet will go almost all the way through a center-hit golf ball, often leaving a large bump on the far side. An edge hit gives a big curved flight, and a hit at the bottom launches one straight up.
