Speed Golf - T.C. Jester Park 38 min + 3

[Bboycub]

Who is game for playing tomorrow at T.C. Jester Park Houston, TX @ 9:00AM? Should take about 30-45min. Not your typical game. Learning to throw accurate on the run takes time. Come get your intro to Speed Golf

What's your format? How many minutes per stroke over par etc.

Um, he's in Texas. I've run courses in Washington. Hope I didn't get in your way.

*but....you're from Texas and you've played here

A few years ago some speed golfers blew through our group a couple of times in a 3-day period. No 'excuse me', 'heads up', or 'do you guys mind?'. Just ran through throwing and were soon gone. I haven't seen them since, so I'm thankful that the practice didn't seem to catch on around here. Annoying as hell, like they owned the place, everyone else be damned. I never saw them until they threw in on us. Hope it wasn't you.

Funny thread in that 20 something years ago right before I gave up trying to play myself and some other track/cross-country runners from my college played this way basically because we couldn’t throw. My throw count was probably a bit better than normal like double bogey golf... but I was fast. Wish I remembered our stroke/minute conversion.

Great for timing, especially in tournament conditions.

Obviously it isn't the case everywhere, but speed golf at 9 AM on a weekday on most courses around here shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Jerks are jerks, these ones just happened to be playing speed golf.

I grew up in Washington. My dad retired outside Bremerton. Texas is this hot muggy place were I work till I can retire to the Pacific Northwest or a tropical island (my wife's choice).

I run Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge all the time. I play with just a Teebird and Aviar when I run. My best time is 23:22 but that's car to car (so more like 22:30 from first tee to last basket).

The formula I use is strokes + (minutes*2)
