Would you believe Good Friday isn’t a bank holiday in Ireland?

I didn’t, until I found myself living it.

But I can’t, because a golf ball has rolled under the pedal!

Cursed To Golf - The player in a pixelated world sits inside a golf cart in front of a giant green golfing ghost with a large club. They have cards called “Scattershot, Practice Shot, and Mulligan” to choose from.

Things come round, they peak, they go round again.

Specifically it’s golf but a bit wacky and cool.

Not your mamma’s golf, baby!

At the end of last year we hadGolf Club Wasteland.

ThenRPGolf Legends.Cursed To Golfis coming out later in 2022.

I understand how it works, thematically.

Golf is kind of a stuffy game for boring rich people and/or old dudes, right?

That’s the perception, anyway.

So making it ker-azy is extra trope-subversion, extra contrast.

How did everyone hit upon this?

Did a bunch of people go on a golf stag do or team-building retreat in 2018?

Personally I thinkWhat The Golfprobably started this.

Golf, but fun (like don’t come at me, golfers), and everyone loved it!

I knowDangerous Golfcame out in 2016 but I feel like What The Golf made more of a dent.

Any suggestions for other sports that can be made into not-sports games?

Or weird stuff to do with golf?

A tennis roguelike with zombies.

Give me your best shot.
