    Something like a modified potato cannon. First hole 800 yds par 3.

    I have never golfed. I have hit a few balls though. A while back relatives from the city were putting a golf ball around the yard. Little did they know I was waiting around the corner for them to get a safe distance away from the balls. You Shudda seen the look on their faces when I started busting their balls with my lever action .357
    If liars pants really did catch on fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun!

    Golf balls make decent projectiles for BP cannon . They tend to hook beyond 200 yards .

    It works better if you cast your own from zinc or lead .

    Flux your cast boolit lead with them. I'm doing metal working, with lathes and milling machines and stuff. The shavings from that are recyclable, but it's probably not something I'm going to be recycling myself, and if you contaminate steel with aluminum or vice versa, you get less money for the scrap. Though I have melted aluminum...
