Eight of our club members played HLG Golf on a local course here in Salt Lake City, Utah last year and had a blast! We used the foam swimming pool noodles that kids play with as flags. The noodles are about 3" in diameter and 8 feet long. I bought a 4 pack at Costco for around $10-12. You can get them at K-mart, Wal-Mart, etc. I cut 2 of the orange noodles into 10" pieces on the band saw. The first group was responsible for replacing the flag with the noodle and the last group reversed the process. The noodles were easy to see and didn't damage the planes. And if you hit one too hard they pulled out of the hole. To hole-out, the nose of the plane needed to be within a wingspan 1.5m (59.05") of the edge of the cup. Pace of play was a little slower than I would have liked, but I think we will be better and faster this year. Winning score for 9 holes was 25, turned in by Blake Nielsen. Longest drive/flight was 410 yards, by Mikeee Kresser and Mikeee also had a hole-in-one on a 182 yard par 3. We should have called that one in to the local paper... 182 yard, Par 3 with a Climaxx! This was also a great family event as most pilots had their spouse or one of their kids drive the cart - The drivers had as much fun as the pilots! Afterwards the winners treated all of us to breakfast. If you want a copy of the rules, please email me and I will send the MS Word file to you. I can also send you picts of the event and the coveted trophies. I encourage you to add HLG golf to your calendars. It is a great event!

What is the rules for HLG golf. I know the obvious rules of golf and that a HLG throw counts as a stroke ,etc. What do you use for a hole and flag? Are you allowed to stand at the hole and catch the HLG? How far can you run when you launch or do you have to walk back the distance you want to run from the tee/last stroke. What penalties you use for HLG. etc. Quentin RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
