Hunter S Thompson thought of this when he was still on the sports desk. I think it would go, especially with that college student getting the first perfect score in that division of skeet. Perfect scores in skeet are easy, the hard part is holding back to set up the hustle. Wiley might have to share royalties with Hunter’s estate, but try it in Japan.

Why not make it a solo sport. First you Tee Off and while the ball is in flight you grab the shot gun and shoot it down. That might be a little tricky to change from a driver to a skeet gun but it could be fun.
anything can liven up golf. booze livens up golf. however, booze and guns don’t end well. golf is a form of self abuse. which would you rather do, watch 6 hours of golf on a summer sunday? or, watch 1 hour of a hunting show? or, anything else?
Artistic Roller Roller Skating (Figure Skating on wheels, I call it) was suppose be an Olympic sport at the start of this century. I guess the Olympic committee is still debating “weather” it should be a Winter or a Summer sport.
Grew up on a farm that bordered a golf course. My little brother was the worst hazard on the 4th hole. He was known to do things like sit on a hill across the creek and shoot the balls off the green with a .270
Neat idea, but golf balls are designed to take a hit. Clay pigeons are designed to break. By using a golf ball, you’d never see it explode like that. If it did, you’d never be able to tee off!
Just don’t duff the ball off the tee. Some can’t control the urge to fire on the ground runners.Hitting a golf ball in the air with a shotgun can be done. Like said it just won’t explode like that.Next thing for Titleist is to invent the STEALTH golf ball. Unable to see it to hit it.Ever play Night Golf. Clear like golf ball with a small calumet light stick inside. Makes it glow in the dark.Gun golf. An attachment that goes on the end of your rifle to launch golf balls. Use a putter on the green but use the gun and angle to launch the ball at the green.Speed Golf…you go as fast as you can even hitting the ball from the golf cart while it is moving. Like Polo just on a golf course. Also done using jogging just hit the ball then run after it. Its golf and a marathon at the same time. Yes you do run right after you hit it just remember there will be others behind you so FORE!!!!
Sturmmi, thanks for pointing out that golf clubs are lethal weapons. What the stand your ground laws do for me is this: I can walk up to anybody I hate downtown, kick them in the groin, punch them in the jaw, and if I think he’s going for a gun that would put my life in danger or even if he’s bigger and meaner than me, I get to hit him upside the head repeatedly….Yes, a golf club is a great surprise weapon in stand you’re ground laws. Stand your ground laws aren’t just about guns. People get to attack people for free, and kill them if they start losing……
Olympic golf/skeet competition? Why not cut the middle man and shoot the golfer instead . He would be a better target anyway…have you seen how some of these guys dress?

If the shooter has a 15 round magazine, how many mulligans does the golfer get?

If there is not a gun involved it isn’t a real sport.

Hunter S. Thompson and Bill Murray created a game called Shotgun Golf. In fact, Thompson’s last column before his death was about this exact thing.

If I’m on the tee, the shooter waiting at the lower left of the box is in more trouble than he knows…

There was once a disc golf course near a skeet range. I always kinda wondered what happened to the errant discs.
