If you hit golf balls anywhere for fun?

But not on a golf course of course

I wouldnt mind trying to see if I could ping golf balls at the roof of the Sydney opera house with my 9 iron. I think there is a green patch around 160 yards away from it.

I think you might be looking at that 9 upside down.

Played a good bit of park golf as a young lad .

They wouldn't let me in a club.

Anyway

Gaa pitches
Football pitches
Gardens
Fields .

One field we played in was only about 180 yrds wide .

A slice could genuinely hit a bus . One outrageously long player used to aim at any bus that came.

Back to topic.

Played in a few hotel rooms
A beach

I suppose playing on the moon wins.

I used to go to a local GAA pitch and hit balls from one goal and try hit it over the bar at the other end! there may have been need for Hawk eye back then !

remember these lads over from the US for work had a great apartment on the quays near temple bar arch.

there were one or two drunken evenings where a few chip shots from the living room out the window, over the road and into the liffey were executed, or sometimes not so well executed.

Bragging are ye. You wouldn't be getting there with a 9 iron.

where I gre up in a suburban estate we would play the length of the road to the field at the bottom. someone would keep sketch for any cars coming. we actually had a nice little course planned throughout the estate :eek:
we hit a few balls in places we shouldn't but best left untold on a public forum

A guy I know used to host a golf tournament in his Farm in Kildare for charity. He'd 'create' the course around the house, cut a few small greens. And people would come and play the course over a weekend.

Mental but brilliant.

Paul Mcginley was on the late late saying that he's setting up a little course in croke Park. That should be interesting.

Should do a Tee box on the roof walkway at canal end playing onto a green in the centre circle. Where do I send my invoice?

On a quiet beach when the tide is out, great practice for links and tight lies.

I live out the country and there’s a large bog beside me. After it’s all cleared the long banks are an ideal driving range!!
