The late L. Neil Smith had an interesting twist on Golf in his novel THE VENUS BELT. The course was a Hogan’s Alley-type target range, with par being based on accuracy and the speed of the shooter. Allowances had to be made for the type of weapon: revolver, automatic, coil gun…and no lasers or plasma guns allowed–too much damage to the landscaping.

Beverley Hillbillies episode where they went hunting for “golfs”
Yeah, I’m that old
Hey now, I golf with my wife and a few friends, we get in all kinds of ranging practice across varied terrain. 😉 it’s way too short for any rifle practice, but we have considered taking along the AR golf ball launcher to improve Driving distance. (Though it’s not much of an accuracy improvement) LOL
I’ve never been much of a sports fan. Much prefer watching canine sports. Agility, dock diving, skijoring, etc. The joy and dedication the dogs and owners show is amazing.

Puck drop tonight. Ice hockey (the only real sport) is back.
What is this NFL you speak of?
How about curling? I could even do a sport like that. A little training, a lot of practice and away I go.
Just sweep that man out of your hair.
Good one! That was punny. Like it.

No longer the gai-est sport.
Professional sports in general have become nothing but an endless drag show.

Just put on your orange polyester Polk-a-dot pants and hit the links.
Have a neighbor that calls golf “fag hockey.”
“Golf is a pleasant walk spoiled.”
-Generally attributed to Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).
When I look at a golf course, I see a sad waste of pasturage and/or a rifle range.

You know why golfers bring extra socks to the golf course?
In case they get a hole in one.
Haven’t played whap-fuck in years 🙂
Hear, hear! Eon nailed it!
I think the two should be combined. Shotguns on the drives. Rifles on the fairways. Handguns on the greens.
