Pellet guns on our own golf courses. The horror!

Combat Golf! Now there's something that might lure me back to the links! The club could make extra money by hosting paintball "action pursuit" games in the rough, with golfers presenting targets of opportunity.

It'd be a good way to get the golfers to work on hitting the ball straight down the fairway - venturing into the tall grass would carry a bigger penalty than "hit the ball where it lies".

You have my attention!

The only part of golf I ever liked was just the whacking. Now combine the whacking aspects of driving with the mild danger of pellet guns and the open humiliation of paint-ball and we have a truly American game!

Are today's BB guns more powerful or are the fright mongers trying to make hay with this claim?

the single pump ones we grew up with aren't to dangerous past 25 feet or so...but some of the more modern .22 cal pellet guns can get up around 1,000 fps.
