January 29, 201115 yr My friends have been saying I need to learn to golf so I figured I needed a club.
January 29, 201115 yr Golf isn't bad. It is a good excuse to walk around for an afternoon drinking beer with friends. Chasing the little white ball with clubs provides added entertainment. Nice cannon, see if the club will let you play with it. Phil
January 30, 201115 yr I'd venture a week's wages that those in front would be more than happy to let you play on through ! :o
January 30, 201115 yr That is just a level of awesome that defies awesomeness... I love it. Looks like yer gonna be the next Happy Gilmore with that thing. 700yd drive? No problem, just lemme set my trajectory and charge...
January 30, 201115 yr Well,you got the driver,now you need a putter. Be sure to wear your red leg golf togs (and ear plugs) and you`ll be the king of the course. Motarmen everywhere salute you! I can see you conversing with your FO/caddy "It`s a tough shot,maybe we should call in tac-air to soften up the green". B)
January 30, 201115 yr A 12 gauge will work for the putter, you just need to clip the ball. Divot replacement can be a bit tricky though. John Satterwhite did a demo a few years ago about his version of golf, it was similar to yours. My thoughts on golf as summed up in one of my signatures below. My Dad made several blackpowder cannons that were scaled 1" to the foot. I have 9 barrels at home that he didn't get finished,with the Dahlgrens having bores of 15/16" The originals had barrels that weighed around 22,000# IIRC. 30 grains of FFFg should do a nice job of getting a golf ball downrange.
January 31, 201115 yr Author Thank you Every one. Phil, I am sure golf is a fun game I just have to many irons in the fire to start a new one. LOL Bob I will is this for a putter also, I figure I will just set the elevation a few seconds off vertical and set my charge for the range. Big gun that is very cool that your dad did scale models. We proofed it today with with increasing charges up to 100 grains but only used powder and a rag wad. we will take it out to my buddies who live on a farm to see that it will do with golf balls.
January 31, 201115 yr Used to golf MANY years ago. Had a bad habbit of standing too close to the ball after I hit it. So I quit.
