Before I Die: Golf Cross

Couple of people have told me about this new sport that sounds like the coolest thing since three-man wiffle-ball. Golf Cross originated from New Zealand, due in a large part to the fact that the natives didn't have the room, or the course management capacity to make original golf work. So, develop a game that doesn't take smooth fairways and pristine putting greens - hello Golf Cross. The key is the new golf ball, and net. The ball is oblong, like a rugby ball, and instead of putting into a hole - you chip into a net. Apparently the ball flies straight and true. Lean it to the left in the special tee and it goes left, right and it goes right, etc...People are juiced about a game that involves the mechanics of golf without all the difficulty of spin, shanks, and otherwise tedious ball control. I like golf, but more than golf I like whacking things with a stick and trying to make the thing I whacked hit other things, I think I will LOVE Golf Cross.

Love the Flight of the Conchords YMA. They are the funniest thing on HBO right now, and their Most Beautiful Girl in the Room is a HILARIOUS track. Can't get enough of their humor. Well played sir...well played indeed.

Anything from NZ these days has my vote for what's cool.

The game was featured in American Way Magazine this month as well. The inventor is the same guy who wrote "Why Paint Cats" and "Why Cats Paint", not in that order. He sounds like a unbelievable individual himself.
