I have invented a new sport. I call it X-Golf. Now, it’s not new from the standpoint of its built around golf, but the environment gives the old game a new twist.
Why is it that fans have to be silent during tennis and golf matches while they can scream their brains out at most other sports? In X-Golf, the fans can hoop and holler all they want. Then we’ll see how well golfers can concentrate. After all, I have seen Tiger Woods repeatedly “check his swing,” as they would say in baseball, when there is the least disruption while he’s ready to hit. In X-Golf, you can heckle the players all you want.
Then there’s the course. The worst obstacles they face now are sand traps and waterholes. Let’s get some real challenges in there. Like having to drive it over a house or through a six-foot-wide hole in a wall. Then once you get to the putting green, why aren’t there obstacles before reaching the cup? Well, in X-Golf there are. We’ll steal a few favorites from the miniature golf links, like a windmill and having to put to one hole to have the ball roll out another nearer the cup.
X-Golf mixes traditional golf with X-Games spirit. The golfers could ride scooters or hopped-up all-terrain carts, depending on the conditions at each hole.
And the water hazards? They’d have alligators in them! Sprinklers could go off at anytime, along with explosions and fireworks. Stealing a scene from boxing, shapely ladies would be parading the course holding score signs. There would be no caddies, either.
Think of all the commotion and excitement that has been generated by the X-Games in the past years. Then think of how excited golf fans will be to be able to get out on the course and really cheer, instead of having to stand there in stone silence. This is bound to bring out even more fans and create a real TV-friendly environment. It’s waiting for some Hollywood producer to discover.
