« Hunter Thompson quits the scene | Main | Negroponte in Honduras » Shotgun Golf"Shotgun Golf with Bill Murray" was evidently Hunter Thompson's last published column, though god knows what'll turn up in the wake of his death. I'm pissed off at myself for ignoring he recent work, and I'm a still trying to come to terms with the juxtaposition of his death and Sandra Dee's. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was instrumental in undermining my faith in journalism and pretty well trashing my writing career. If not for HST, I would have fallen from grace and become a successful journalist and author. I would have had credibility, and would have become a blogger only much later, after it was fashionable and cool. Now, that would stink. [Link] The game consists of one golfer, one shooter and a field judge. The purpose of the game is to shoot your opponent's high-flying golf ball out of the air with a finely-tuned 12-gauge shotgun, thus preventing him (your opponent) from lofting a 9-iron approach shot onto a distant "green" and making a "hole in one." Points are scored by blasting your opponent's shiny new Titleist out of the air and causing his shot to fail miserably. That earns you two points. jon posted this at 5:43 PM |
