EZEE GOLF
It was only a
matter of time
before someone
would invent a
club that doesn’t
require a swing
in order to hit
the ball! We
have driverless cars now, right? Well that time is here.
The EZEE golf club does the same thing. All you need
to do is to place the club head behind the ball and pull
the trigger. The charge in the chamber triggers the piston
which fires out and strikes your golf ball. An adjustment
valve controls how far the ball will travel from 50 yards
to 225 yards. You can even slice and hook the ball by
adjusting the tilt in our club and where you strike the
ball. This club is perfect for many people in many ways.
How about the pure beginner who can now go out and
play with gofers who have played all their lives? Or, the
disabled person whose love of the game is there but the
ability to swing is gone. I have used this cub many times
during fundraiser tournaments. The look on the face of a
person when the ball goes flying more than 200 yards
down the fairway when they have never hit a ball over
100 yards in their life is truly one to remember. Contact
Gilroy Golf Course for information on the EZEE golf club
or go to ezeegolf.com.
FLING GOLF
Fling Golf combines Lacrosse
and golf. The difference is
that you play Fling Golf on
a conventional golf course.
The “Fling Stick” is loaded
with a golf ball and then
hurled down the fairway.
Different techniques provide
different results. Shorter shots
are hurled upward like a flop shot or flipped low like a
bump and run. There is a putting iron on the head of the
stick so when you’re hitting on the green you can putt
relatively conventionally. You can play Fling Golf on any
course as you would regular golf. To learn more, go to
flinggolf.com.

NITE GOLF
If you haven’t played
a game of Nite
Golf, put in on your
bucket list. Nite
Golf is played after
the sun goes down, with glow in the dark golf balls. The
darker it is, the better the experience. A lighted golf ball
flying through the night sky looks like a tracer rocket. The
special golf balls fly surprisingly close to the distance of a
conventional ball. The flag sticks, cups and tee markers are
all illuminated, to help guide you around the course. Partici-
pants wear glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces so they
can be spotted in the dark. A great way to spend a sum-
mer evening. Nite Golf is a popular choice for fundraising
events. If you’re interested in a game of Nite Golf with
family or a group of friends, contact Gavilan Golf Course,
(408) 846-4920, or visit gavilangolfcourse.com.
JUMBO HOLES
One change that is start-
ing to gain some traction
at golf courses across
the country is the 15-inch
cup. Do you know how
much faster a round of golf will be and how much lower
your score will be when the up is three times larger than
a conventional cup? Beginners will be less frustrated and
advanced players can now make a putt more often an even
have a chip in or two during a round. Look for the 15-inch
cup coming to a golf course near you.
If you are too set in your ways to try one of these golf alternatives, but
still want to try something a little different, cut loose and have a little fun
while you’re on the course.
Try playing with less than 14 clubs. It will lighten your load and also
allow you to be a little more creative when you have to hit a shot with
a club that isn’t ideally suited for the shot.
How about moving up a set of tees to shorten the course and
enhance your experience? Or, play fewer hole. I’m sure you can play
a route of your course that shortens your round to get a tasted of the
course when you don’t have time to play a full 18- or 9-hole round.
Maybe it’s a rainy day or late in the evening and no one is on the
course. Try cross country! Challenge yourself and play the course in an
unconventional manner. Invent a new par 3 or a long par 6. Just be
careful when you do this.
Remember, golf is fun. Play it conventionally or alternatively, but get
out on the golf course. It’s a beautiful game played in a beautiful place.
Enjoy it.
