This way, tiger woulds wood play against me and I might maybe win... Even after all those cold ones!
Ball shapes would be based on the theoretical aerodynamic limits for different numbers of sides. So, a tetrahedron may be worst, whilest a regular golfball would be closer to the best.
Whoda thought that there would be a hit for polyhedron tiger.

If these balls are used, then you would have the same handicap... |
|
| |
<ducks head, notices low sideage of passing ball> wow, impressive. |
|
| |
Presumably, not everyone would be playing with the same ball type. Otherwise, yeah, this would be entirely pointless, [BJS]... unless I've misunderstood you, which is very possible. |
|
| |
I'm betting you still wouldn't have a chance against Tiger. |
|
| |
Would Tiger Woods tie girls' wood tigers? |
|
| |
[RaySteele], I coodn't help myself ;). Alright, that's just rediculous. |
|
| |
[hippo], suprisingly, that one isn't very hard. I've had three people say it now, and they've all passed. Good one, though. |

Is it possible to devise a curvey polyhedron
which, like the seven-sided 50p piece, has
a uniform diameter in all directions despite
not being a sphere? |
|
| |
A tetrahedron would still be easy to hit. An object in two-dimensional space, however, would prove much more difficult. Bun anyway. |

At our local Municipal course they have replaced the Pitch and Putt par 3 with a Rugby style game. A miniature rugby shaped golf ball that you must hit between the sticks.
We are all gonna get pissed and play it soon!
*Americans and other aliens please refer to the Glossary below:
Rugby - Game played by real men with funny shaped balls (American football without crash helmets).
Pissed - Drunk not Angry |
|
| |
Well, I consider myself a Real Man, but it appears I wouldn't qualify to play Rugby. |
|
| |
I think the only way I'd stand a chance against Tiger Woods is if he was forced to use a wiffle golf ball and left-handed clubs. |
|
| |
And even then I wouldn't bet the farm. Or the dog. But definitely the neighbour's cat. |

gnomethang, why do real men where you live need to get pissed to try something new? So they'll have an excuse when they really suck at it? That's just so lame. |
|
| |
[gnomethang]Do you think the lack of padding might be the cause of the funny shaped balls? |
|
| |
Nah!. Its a genetic thing. The mutants get drawn to the game... |

Come come Canuck, I wasn't suggesting that we were Real Men, that was part of someone else's definition of Rugby which I included for clarity.
As for getting pissed before trying something new - this is a jokey small par3 golf trip with a small rugby ball shaped ball. What else are you supposed to do? They aren't playing it in Beijing any time soon!.
It is also a well known fact that one plays Crazy Golf better after a Cold Drink.

Where, oh where, does the one sided polyhedron start and the infinitely sided polyhedron end? |
|
| |
"well , Sir. They both end at their begining." |
|
| |
"Fuck that. I'll 6:1 on the lions to beat the springboks." |
