Someone talk me into moving to the Midwest I am so sick of the west coast ngl. But I also don’t know anything about the Midwest so give me your pitch hahaha
Golf needs more pizzazz, and I know just what it needs!
First thing golfers should be named like teams in other sports. I have some examples.
Pensacola Snakes, Jersey City Aardvarks, Oakham Tardigrades, the Louisville Cryptids, the Detroit Termites and so on in that fashion. (God help me if any of these are real sports teams already)
Next you need give every golfer a costumed personality. (That’s right they are just like wrestling personalities.) They choose the costume, the music, light show, and effects for their entrance!
And that’s it, don’t change the game.
The Pensacola Snakes make their entrance to the music of Blink 182’s Snake Charmer, while carrying a young python, all the while an announcer tells us their stats and story.
Something like “Weighing 165 pounds the Pensacola Snake is truly viscous on the field.
They are back for revenge after being absolutely decimated by the Jefferson Embryos coming in with a 7 over Par to Embryos 12 under Par.
No one knows how they’re going to do but rumors from Detroit Termites say they got a new putter that will give them just the edge they need to clench victory from the jaws of defeat here on todays game here at the Tustan Ranch Golf Club in beautiful California sponsored by Monster Energy Drink!!!”
They then disrobe their snake pattern sleeveless coat, grab their preferred club and quietly line up the shot beginning a normal game of golf. The fans go from wild cheers and screams holding their signs saying stuff like snake eye (which means a birdie or some shit, idk golf terms) and trans rights to saying stuff like Shhh, Please no loud noises, and trans rights.
