In addition to my shepherd’s sling, I have a custom slingshot to launch golf balls. I also sling tennis balls on disc golf courses. The difficulty is finding a golf course that will permit me to play sling golf. Suggestions?

I suggest first using the sling on a slow day at their driving range to get a feel for the course's vibe/potential tolerance..

then do the same on their putting green--again ona slow day.
Develop proficiency for the course to stimulate their curiosity. this couldlead to an invitation.. if not, sneak in with a group of golfers. pay the entry fees, be respectful, and you could have legitiamate entrance to a golf course. this is how we gained accces to a golf course in Guam. I hope this helps

I've seen other sling golf videos with a golf putter used on the green. I definitely like the sling putting.

And use a short --16" -- sling as a "putter". Golf is REALLY big here in Florida; I'm gonna hafta try this!

Given that a golf ball can be easily curved to the point that I can - literally - sling round corners, what you gain on the straights you lose on the bends. A left hand curve for a right handed slinger is harder, but still doable
