Shotgun Golf

Post by Ryoki »

Hunter S. Thompson invented a new sport and is ready to conquer America with it. Read as he discusses the details with Bill Murray:

A snippet:

HST: "I've called you for some consulting advice on how to launch it. We've actually already launched it. Last spring, the Sheriff and I played a game outside in the yard here. He had the 9-iron, and I had the shotgun. And about 100 yards away, we had a linoleum green and a flag set up. He was pitching toward the green. And I was standing about 10 feet away from him, with the shotgun. And my objective was to blow his shot off course."

EDIT: also please turn the html on :E

Personally i'm of the opinion shotguns should be used in all sorts of sports. Curling, for example, could do with some action.

Hey, at least it's not a full contact sport.
