FORE!!!rofl

That looks fun. Do you have to anchor it to the ground, or does it's weight hold it in place well enough?

I'll bet I could still 7 out of 10 into the water/sand/rough/out of bounds, even with that one.

Since it weighs 38#, does that make it a "38 Iron"?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I have a few cannons--360 seems a bit high to lanch a golf ball, but I use Fg or FFg in lower loads--real stuff works MUCH better in the cannon--I've pulled the covers off a few with lower loads than that.

I have a mortar that I can shoot them near straight up with--fun to watch for the little dot to re-appear.
