SAN DIEGO — If you are one of those people that thinks golf is a little too expensive for your wallet, or it's a sport that is too tough to learn, then you are in luck. There is a new alternative to the sport, and it's starting to pick up a lot of interest.It is called fling golf, and it is a very simple sport to learn. All you need is a stick and a golf ball, and you are set.
The founders of the sport come from a lacrosse background and took the throwing aspect of that sport and just moved it to the golf course.Fling golf is played on a regular golf course, and the rules are the same as traditional golf. The only difference is, you fling the ball down the fairway as opposed to hitting it. It also has great appeal to those who aren't so good at traditional golf.
