Transcript:
Noise: THWACK ZING KLANG
Ned: Uh...that sounds like a 12-year-old boy's idea of how golf should be played.
Bob: Yeah, but it'd finally be worth watching on TV.
This looks like a step or two above ‘Caddy Shack’ with the exploding greens. Just add a few unmarked land mines and armored air ships just surviving eighteen holes should make the player feel pretty good about their game.
===========Also going ‘back in time’ a bit; Comic wise, Remember Mr. Miller’s strip on August 28, 2013? Shot gun golf. Check out this video from Wimp Videos: http://www.wimp.com/drivingrange/
Ahhhhh…Which panel is my favorite? I love Sunday Wileys…..OK, sure, of course, it’s the one with the bears….That’s cheatin’ Wiley, you know how I love your bears….Although, the explosions are pretty cool……
We used to play Cowboy Golf when I lived in Arizona. I won’t go in to all the details, except to say it involved horses, “natural terrains” , and of course, constant re-hydration.
I got worried about my mom’s ability to interact with others when she started watching golf on TV, a game she had never previously been interested in. I told my sibs we shouldn’t wait until she started watching bowling.
Jack Lelanne, the famous fitness fanatic, would run from hole-to-hole as part of his daily exercise program. For his 65th birthday, he went for a mile swim, while towing 65 boats!
I’m pretty sure playing golf that way would help cut down the human population and since the golfers would have to sign papers to compete so no one can sue, everyone wins.

It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

Golf is a little boring …. I never got white ball fever

Dirt-biking (even without the extra hazards) is much more fun than golf.

If one knows anything about golf, one would realize it’s a lot of fun to watch the pros on TV exactly the way it is!

At the beginning I thought I was reading a Zen Pencils parody.

Anyone who says golf is boring doesn’t understand the game. (true for any activity, actually, with the possible exception of competitive macramé)

Caddyshack on steroids! Yeah I’d watch that , the pesky gopher would be the least of their worries!

I’d vote basketball one of the sillier games: a bunch of 7,5 footpituitqry cases running up & down stuffing a ball in a hoop at eye level. Mnyeh!
David_J Premium Member about 11 years ago
Full contact golf. Similar to American football. Now THAT would be a game to watch!

Explosions and machineguns make sports better! That’s why war is so exciting!
jahoody about 11 years ago
that would sure make even Nascar more exciting…more like a steeple chase course.

Bob makes sense. You only use the hi def TV’s so you can dissect the landscaping.

Will you settle for a new Homer story?

Can’t understand why so many people enjoy watching golf on TV. The only way I would do it is if it were like this ’toon!
