course. It’s fun, inexpensive and easy to learn.
Instead of hitting the ball with a club, a player
flings a golf ball with FlingStick®. Use
of stick is provided with paid round. A good
fling can travel over 200 yards. For an entire
round, all players need to carry is one light
FlingStick®. For info, call 763-549-3750.
