Salutations.

Skeet Golf: Skeet Golf is a hazardous game / sport involving implements of both Skeet Shooting and Golf. If you search online, you will find mentions of it on You Tube or relating to The Red Green Show. As I heard the story around 1995, I believe the person who told me about it was in fact one of the original inventors.

The game came about on the end of 60' wooden dock extending out over a large lake. A friend was hitting golfballs out over the lake when another friend first offered criticism of his swing, and then boasted he could shoot down the balls which led to a bet and contest.

Being on a dock over water does add to the enjoyment, but is not required. Anywhere you have an open field of view and clearly defined points from which to hit balls and shoot is acceptable. Please comply with all applicable law and use some basic common sense with regard to gun safety. You should probably experience both golf and skeet shooting independently before trying to play Skeet Golf.

The basic concept of the game is to have players take turns hitting balls, shooting the gun, and keeping score. In the original game, there were three players allowing for a simple rotation. With a greater number of players, you might have to come up with additional jobs for them to do such as throw peanuts at the guy with the gun or possibly shout foul words at the guy swinging the golf club (both at your own risk) ... or maybe just make them stand in line.

Game flow would be as follows: player one would hit the ball, player two would blast away with the shotgun, and player three would laugh like a maniac trying not to spill his beer. I mean, player three would keep score. I should mention that when the game was invented, few of the common sense safety rules were followed. A) shooting a gun wildly and rapidly in various directions is generally not a good idea. Second, if you are going to do that at least be sober.  D) calling your wife to brag about the stupidity of your activity might be a mistake. And Third, don't attempt stuff like this when you are over 2 hours from the nearest hospital... seriously how well can you drive with a missing foot?

Anyway, thank you for your interest in Skeet Golf. If you try it I hope you have a great time. And live.
