Funny how the news station makes this look like a new story when I remember seeing talk about it last year.  http://thesandtrap.com/t/76875/fling-golf

Looks like a longer field hockey stick with some holes, they're saying 150 yards max. Only need to carry one club. Foot, Fling, what's next?

Hi Steve and thanks for posting. We typically see most people fling around 150 yards while baseball/hockey/lacrosse players can fling almost 200 yards! We had great feedback and players try FlingGolf at the recent Lake Placid lacrosse event. Let us know if you have any questions!

Think this a great idea to get more people on the course.  Just like some ski slopes don't allow snowboard, some courses won't take advantage of it.  I found out that my condo in VA has hod over 1500 paid rounds of fling golf this year..all paid at the normal rate.  The game has just as many challenges as golf and the skills are definely different but you still have to putt in the end.  I am going to give it a try.  Played with lacrosse sticks as a kid so it should be easy.  Wife even said she would try..golf is not for her but she said this looked like fun.  I might even try to set up a fing golf tournament to raise money for charity though our Lions Club

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
