That would be bloody awesome I reckon

Your right. Shorts and gumboots only

Let's make it happen. ....

Ah, I've played that with a 22 and golf balls at various ranges from 10m to 100m. Great fun if you have a bit of time and space to set it up.

I'd be inclined to insist on silly hats. Also, a golf bag/trundler thing would be hilarious. A caddie system too

Would be a nice way of keeping the cost down rather than centre-fire and gongs. I have a heap of old golf balls too. Doing nothing with them.

Caddie would count the shots and suggest distances and holdover choice of course

Brilliant. I can remember having a regular caddie telling me the shots at St Andrews in Port of Spain.
Mr James, you have da rong club.

Not the "real" St Andrews then. Slightly different climate I am guessing

And I thought a caddie just carried your balls, I tend to lose a lot! Kinlochs got a couple of courses and there's bugger all people around in the middle of winter! Or we could play at night with spots?

I'm in. Takapuna golf course would be ideal, the motorway would make a good backstop

Realistically there is a property out South Kaipara Head where I have shot long range. You could probably do it there.

Moving gongs? Pick your colour

Different target for different ranges: golf balls for shorter 22 rimfire <150m bowling pins out to 400 odd yards, gongs further?

It was once on the Johnny Walker series. Very nice course. We would have officer meetings once a week there. Followed by flying fish sandwiches.
Being a kiwi I'd often go looking for my ball when it followed its logical course and ended up in the jungle. This was regularly followed up with a chorus of "Mr James, you don't be goin in dere, dere be sum big snakes in dere boy"
