Thumbs up A Better Way to Play Golf

I'd like to try a round of Airforce Golf. The launcher can shoot the ball over 300 yards or a little as a few feet.

Looks pretty cool.... but then, pretty dangerous too.

I could have some fun with that thing for sure.

Maybe it could help with the fuel bills on the Monster SUV you're looking for.

You could shoot them now ... just use some packing to fill the gap around the ball.

Too fancy, who would buy those?

The Nike glove works really well. Perfect size...

People that like fancy stuff.

I thought that site was funny. The "world's finest luxury golf glove" is marketing themselves as an ad specialties product on their front page.

my Ping gets me about the same yardage.....its the short game that kicks me in the pants....

I am looking for an programmable electro-magnetic golf ball with tracking ...
now that I can use....

Also if anyone needs their property walked to find a water source let me know...I have a 5 iron that gets that done with no hesitation.

I wonder if the BATFE has any opinion about this device. They specifically exempt potato guns from regulation.
