Cool, I would enjoy that. Anyone one for a round, 9 or 18 holes. Cheers Roadie.

8) Did that many years ago against actual golfers.
Archers shot at a cardboard paper disc same size as hole. (alot of disc's were replaced)
It was won by my younger brother with a score of 11 under, and I think that score still hasn't been beaten by anyone else between our club and the Golfer's. :surprised:
Everyone had a truly great time at the end of the day. :lol:

I have also played it about 20 odd years ago at Greenvale a former mining town. We aimed at a tennis ball on a small wire hoop. The more cautious could get within a relatively samall distance and take a dropped shot and consider it putted .Being oiled sand greens a miss ensured your arrow almost certainly disappeared off into the distance. Of course we could ' out drive' the golfers but when it came to chip shots or putts 'plinking ' the string was the only way we could get anywhere near the ball. It was huge fun and would do it again in an instant.

Played the game many years ago and had heaps of fun.

I suppose it is a bit like roving.
