Here's an idea

Golf: but with clubs that are actually well designed to hit a small ball where you want it to go.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Ball goes where you want it to? That wouldn’t be “golf”.
Right. My new sport would need a name.

Half the fun is finding your ball!!!!!
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 !
Flog.
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 right , slice
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 really like my Ezgo gas powered golf cart! Spoken by a true Fisherman.
That is all.
Just model it on SW Mr. Perfect and I'll have it manufactured. We will both be rich!
here is my 'driver', uses .308 blanks and will 'shoot' a golf ball over 1/4 mile. barrel is from son's junked dirt bike.

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?

My grand daughters love to shoot golf balls............with my mini 14. We buy em at yard sales for pennies.
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.
