Could be used for disabled or somebody that can't hit ball over 80 yards due to arthritis or just simply lost there strength but has short game. This may extend the golfing experience for those with severe health issues or prevent injuries from trying to drive the ball off the tee IMO and may help in pace of play?

Or maybe we could hire someone else to hit the ball for us.

TIGER - Are you available on Wednesday?

Exactly! It's like a combination of a gun range and a pitch and putt course

Never thought I'd see firearms and golf combined.

That's not golf! However, it looks like a winner for those who may have an injury or disability that drastically hinders their game. The club they are using doesn't require any skill to use.

I'm not saying it's proper golf, obviously not. But doesn't the shot have to be properly aimed? :confused:
Or else one could break a lot of windows if set for 200 feet!

In addition to not being a golf club, that is not new. I first saw one of those over twenty years ago.

That's my problem with golf, I can't aim straight so it would be useless for me. I don't want to pay extra for the right to hit my ball into a sand trap, I can do that very well on my own thank you. :clap2:

as larger golf holes (El Santiago) which allows the novice to an intro to "coming attractions"...I personally would not use but certainly can see the interest in new ideas to make golf (or something close) more popular. Let's face it, interest in golf has diminished.

Two or four hours to do something like chase a ball around that won't go where we want it to!!

Doesn't fit very well in this world of instant gratification.

PS...the bigger holes do not reduce the score of the average duffer and certainly is not an attractor to the game.

The village Chicken is right that concept has been around a while.

Obviously the golf industry is doing its best to get people back to golf. In my view making golf easier like larger putting holes or creating faster play may work for some . but while die heart golfers would agree with faster play making the game easier will be a turn off. People who love the game look for one thing to make that pure shot.

UI suspect a real reason many people backed away from golf is the economy. Golf is expensive and no one in the golf industry is doing much about that issue. and secondly people are too busy finding or holding on to a job in this lousy economy

Ok, this is not meant in any way to be mean or demeaning or directed at any ones game.

The device (course most can figure out in not golf closer to croquet or tiddlywinks) off the tee but still would allow some one to not hold up pace of play that can't drive off the tee with even close club to norm which village golfer seem to be so concerned about. We will all get old and too stiff or weak to drive ball off the tee. Don't tell me you haven't seen drivers used on short par three around the 9 hole courses.

This could extend the game for some that refuse to give up the game due to health or age. Not like there going to use in tournament or win bets with it. So I say lighten up it maybe tool in our bag in the near future? Ok, I'm ducking, so give it to me :ho:

I agree. Big waste of money. I'm fully capable of breaking windows without their help.:coolsmiley:
