A Veterans Take on FlingGolf

From Dana Brley.  (US Navy Seabee, Petty officer 3rd class Builder)

Hi Alex I am writing to you, sharing a little bit about my experience with FlingGolf. 

I took up golf while in the military. After having had shoulder surgery I gave up golf due to the pain I felt when golfing.  In 2019 I came across the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), and upon researching more about it I came across FlingGolf and was intrigued.  Watched a few video’s and decided to try it out.

After I received my FlingStick, I practiced in my yard to get the hang of it.  Went to my local Kern County Golf Course in California where I would play along side friends, and family, or other groups of golfers.  I have also played in local Veteran Charity fundraisers and a scramble. I have played more times than I can count, and at lease 6 Golf Courses in California.  I even approached the Veterans Golfers Association as a FlingGolfer.

   

FlingGolf is a great way for all to enjoy a new challenging way to golf, and supporting their communities.

I would even like to see & participate in a Pro divisional league as a player as have the many who have found this new sport and really enjoy it. 

FlingGolf appeals to me because you can play 9-18-27 or 36 holes in a day with just a FlingStick and a few balls alone or with many  others. 

There is no need to carry a bag or have a caddy unless you want. You can easily setup in your own yard or a park and make up a FlingCourse to entertain or challenge accuracy.  Oh did I mention you can even putt with the FlingStick. 

I am looking forward to the growth and events being held by many to come like Fairways for Warriors, Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled Veteran Golfers Association, and Operation Second Chance.
