It’s 6:00 a.m. The first player (in a 50-player field) is set to go (attire—two collared shirts, Bermuda shorts, running shoes, a half-dozen gloves). The number one seed boasts a 31-minute 10K PR (10K times determine tee-off sequence). He hits it, his caddy rockets to the ball providing yardage/water/towel/ass-kicking, and the running golfer is at full tilt in a mere three steps—caddy in cart/contestant on foot. He pars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Even par. Elapsed front-nine time…23 minutes. Spectators are readied on #18 anticipating an 18-hole ETA of 42–48 minutes—we’re talking a regulation 6,700-yard golf course/18 holes/on foot/every ball goes in the hole/no gimmes. The victor’s 18-hole tally? Strokes—73. Time—45 minutes, 32 seconds – total score (minutes + strokes) = 119.

What is Speed Golf? It’s golf’s premier kick-ass, pedal-to-the-metal, adrenaline-charged, fun, ball-busting, mind-blowing, cool, run-your-ass-off, exhilarating, torturing, joyful, grueling, punishing, game-enhancing (that’s right, game enhancing), eye-opening, athletic endeavor in all of golf…times a bunch.
