In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for July 29, 2024

Par 5, 18th hole…

Will he make this shot? this put? Will he put it in?

Which will get flung, the person or the boulder?

The Viking Olympics. I like it!

I wonder what is ‘par’ for this ‘hole’?

Is that a seven or a nine catapult? And will he miss the moat?

Reminds me of Rory on some of those short putts at the US Open. Kid definitely got the yips……

I don’t play golf. I don’t even have any golf bats. (That’s another story.) But I find it odd that golfers are so one-track that they can’t tolerate any outside sound while knocking the ball around.

What I always wanted to see was the crowd behind the visitors’ hoop at a basketball game — whooping, hollering, baring boobs, waving hands and pool noodles, etc. as an opponent lined up a free throw — transferred to a golf green while a golfer lined up a putt.

Of its many targets, there will be a hole in one.

I can’t figure out how that thing’s supposed to work. He’s pulling in the direction the catapult operates, but to toss the boulder, he would then have to whip it up and around.

I don’t see how it’s possible to get any kind of accuracy with that. I’m sure the Scots will refine this game in the future.
