Get rid of bunkers, lakes, roughs, and trees and I’d do quite well myself!

I have a friend who keeps score based on the number of balls he finds or loses.

Rules? I don’t need no s@#$king rules!

Golf is a pretty lame sport, anyways.

They do make score pencils with erasers. I have several. :-}

There are 8776 golf courses in the US. The average land size of a golf course is 170 acres. That means there are 1,492,920 acres of land dedicated to golf courses. The acerage of the average home is 0.19, so 5 homes can fit comfortably on an acre of land. That means 298,384 homes could be built on that land that is used solely for hitting a little ball to ultimately get it into a little hole. Kinda weird, huh?.

Why bother keeping score? Just play the game.

You could always try making things more challenging. Alligators, swamps with barbed wire here and there, rattlesnakes, giving each player a foghorn.

Use injected VR and play with a virtual ball.

Or be like Kim Jong-un: just say you shot an 18 and send those that disagree with you to become living dogfood!

Play by American rules. High score wins!
