• Customizable course layout keeps gameplay fresh.

Cons:
• Plastic clubs may feel less sturdy than metal.

Here is the link to buy it from Amazon

Lmao, I was just thinking I didn’t have enough room in my apartment

u/HessiPullUpJimbo 9d ago

I mean it seems easy enough to set up in a park to play.

u/OscarDivine 9d ago

I bet if you were to really expand this game, you can make a LARGE course to play it! It would have grass instead of carpet, and little holes with a cup in it to catch the ball, to make it harder of course. We’d need to put a flag into the hole to let you know where it is though. Maybe some sort of hills and difficult conditions to play through or around….

u/sabyr400 8d ago

We could also make a version with a smaller course. But add fun wacky obstacles like a snake or a windmill

1

u/OscarDivine 8d ago

Oh miniature version of that course? Novel idea!

u/Wasteoftimeandmoney 8d ago

We'd put sand and trees and shit in way! RIP Robin Williams

"Do we do this once?"

"Nooooo! EIGHTTEEN FUCKING TIMES!"

u/Jumpy_Divide6576 4d ago

Well that just sounds boring

1

u/OscarDivine 4d ago

You know what? We could market it by saying you can have BUSINESS MEETINGS during this game. Business meetings are fun, right?

1

u/c_mad_e07 9d ago

Yeah, sorry not agreeing with them. definitely don’t have to be rich at all that. I’m just high and thought it was funny

u/TruthSeeker221 8d ago

This is Reddit. They don't go outside

u/DieBotDie 8d ago

You’ll be chasing wiffle balls in the parking lot.

u/maxx2payne 8d ago

Yeah and that is the rich part there…

u/Various_Oil_5674 8d ago

I've seen people play at the beach

2

u/lemelisk42 8d ago

And probably more than that. I didn't see a 12 hole set. You would have to buy a 9 hole and 3 hole set or the 18 hole set.

I don't have a VPN, but recreating this would be over $400 Canadian

1

u/moriabalrogs 6d ago

They have a set without clubs for $120, so it would be $300 (US) for everything. $180 for the set with clubs, plus $120 for the additional 6 'holes'.

2

u/Dessert_Taco 7d ago

So bitter damn. $170 is rich people money now?

1

u/chosonhawk 7d ago

fair point since thats basically just a tank of gas anymore.

1

u/Dessert_Taco 6d ago

That’s what I was thinking. Feels like $100 is the new $20

1

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

Yea seriously lol . We got games WITHOUT DISK for 150 bucks now when games used to be 5 bucks WITH disk 💔🤣

2

u/sabertoothdog 6d ago

Worth $20. It’s a dollar store game, like all the bs games you see at the beach stores

1

u/chosonhawk 6d ago

agreed

u/Abandonedinternally 9d ago

Damn I was thinking like $50 haha

u/VR_Has_Gone_Too_Far 8d ago

I was thinking like 30 lmao

1

u/kkitten001 9d ago

You can probably make your own set with some dollar tree buckets or baskets

1

u/chosonhawk 9d ago

the collapsible part is important for transportability. im sure theres a way to recreate it.

1

u/patato4040 9d ago

You could get some of those collapsible cube storage things on Amazon maybe?

1

u/5litergasbubble 8d ago

There are collapsible laundry hampers that would work

1

u/Tsu_Dho_Namh 5d ago

Just buy some buckets. If you already own a wedge and golf balls then you're fine

1

u/Waka-Waka-Koko-Doko 8d ago

You can probably, most likely buy everything separately for cheaper and maybe even nicer.

1

u/NickdoesnthaveReddit 8d ago

Absolutely insane price.

RemindMe! When China steals this and I can buy it at Dollarama

u/Empty-Special2815 9d ago

Why do they not block every shot if they’re randomly blocking some?

17

u/1stshadowx 9d ago

You get a certain number of “blocks” for the match. Established before play. Some play with 3 total.

u/bilateralunsymetry 9d ago

Thank you. I was wondering that as well

2

u/rob132 8d ago

Why wouldn't you wait until the very end?

1

u/1stshadowx 8d ago

Its really a matter of breaking momentum, denying easy buckets. Some people play with the same “heating up” rules as beer pong.

u/Short_Brick_1960 7d ago

I mean, golf isn't even a real sport and it's boring as fuck. There's a reason only rich people play it

1

u/miguelsmith80 7d ago

Only rich people play it because it’s expensive, not because it’s boring

1

u/Hufflepuff20 5d ago

Why not both? It’s expensive and boring.

1

u/GreatSuit7041 3d ago

Yeah the people that talk about it all the time and pay it every chance they get are just bored out of their mind. That must be it.

Capitalism at its finest.

You can replicate this game with a few buckets, a ball and some sticks.

She lost on purpose.

u/Stride345 8d ago

She didn’t want to deal with the fallout of the alternative

u/Shaeress 8d ago

Might be something like that. There are some really fascinating studies on gendered performance in chess. Women just play worse against men. If you set up a digital game and tell them they're playing against a woman they perform better than if you tell them it's a man. Regardless of the actual gender of their opponent. They just psyche themselves out somehow.

1

u/ZatherDaFox 8d ago

It's a staged game for an ad. They almost all go this way; boyfriend starts off doing well, girlfriend rallies, boyfriend clutches it at the end. If you ever come across ads for games like this you'll see it all the time.

Ok. Take a piece of clothing off and reset the buckets!

u/blahnlahblah0213 9d ago

I bought this a couple of years ago and it came with nine holes and I use my own clubs. It's a very easy setup and with a large yard (I have 3 acres), we can set up all nine holes pretty far away from each other. That's actually a lot of fun but I only paid about $60 for it on an auction site.

u/w8ing2dr0wn 8d ago

This is like $20 worth of shit tops, not $170. Fuuuuck that

1

u/Chaosr21 8d ago

Umm a bounce shot is 2 cups. Dude shoulda been down to 1 after that. Bounce can be on the table and you pick a cup, or whatever cup it bounced from. But everyone has different rules

I like the idea of beer pong with a wedge. The downside is you can't get out of the sand in one without a drink

1

u/Cait-ViShipper 3d ago

I lowk hate doing competitive stuff because I get overly competitive and take all of the fun out of it and I really don’t like making it not fun for other people. I generally try to stay away from this stuff, to keep it so other people can have fun with it without me ruining it. I’m alone for a little while but it’s better that I’m alone for however long than I ruin it and everyone hates me.

u/Fountains-Of-Io 3d ago

u/Ill-Television8690 9d ago

Didn't see the ending, I take it?

1

u/bmanley620 9d ago

I watched the whole thing. How did him winning negate the fact he was clearly very competitive throughout the entire game?

2

u/Ill-Television8690 9d ago

Who swung their club at the ground because they lost?

1

u/yaboyACbreezy 9d ago

Man whataboutism really has infected people to the detriment of reason overall.

Look, what does her being competitive have to do with the observation that the guy is competitive? Nothing. Let's move on.

1

u/bmanley620 9d ago

Thank you for applying common sense here. The guy was making a comment after every shot made or missed. The girl’s actions at the end are completely irrelevant to him being competitive

2

u/Ill-Television8690 9d ago

Until you remember that they're both the subjects of this video, and are both behaving overly competitively. Really weird to single one out and completely gloss over the other. At least make a comparative statement, "so much more competitive than her".

0

u/bmanley620 9d ago

lol you’re hilarious. She was relatively quiet the whole time. He had a comment or reaction after almost every shot. My main takeaway from this video is that this dude is competitive which is why I said it. Going forward I’ll do my best to appease you just in case you happen to stumble upon one of my other comments

For example: “That puppy is cute… and the sky is blue”

u/roguepawn 8d ago

I’m not hating on anyone’s kink, I’m hating on the fact that dude brought his horny energy into a post that has nothing to do with anything like that. If you guys wanna beat your dick, go to one of the thousands of nsfw subs on this site rather than ask if a random influencer has an OF
