This was one of the most educational Speedgolf videos ever made! Seeing what is possible with three clubs, fast transitions, some imagination and a good day putting with the wedge is really inspiring. Thanks for making this great flick! I’m curious how you measure time and time par for each hole. Is it the time from holing out on the previous hole to holing out on the current hole?
Thank you, Sven! Rob is an incredible athlete to learn from. Unique approach to the game. To answer your question: We are still improving the way we measure and communicate hole time and time par. When we published this video (late 2022) 'time par' is how long it should take from the time you hole out on the previous hole to when you hole out on this hole. But 'hole time' was measured from when the golfer arrived at the tee box to when they holed out. Obviously this is confusing, so we are working to improve it. Also, you saw that time par was always in increments of 30 seconds. This does not truly reflect the expected time for an individual hole, but it adds up nicely to the course time par. With help from Chris Hundhausen, we now have software to make 'smarter' time par, which we used in the Alabama Speedgolf Open broadcast (and will in future broadcasts as well).
@@SpeedgolfBaby Thanks, you’ve obviously put alot of thought into this. Not easy! But I agree that hole time is more interesting if we leave out the running between holes. Well done 👍
This is a great showcase of athleticism, focus, and skill. I would love to try this with friends, but they don’t even want to walk a course let alone run it 😅
I know what you mean, Timmy! When I started a speedgolf club, none of my slow golf friends came along. But new speedgolf friends came out of the woodwork. If you build it they will come ⛳🏃🏌
Thanks! This was actually the 2022 US Speedgolf Open. US Tour schedule was just announced recently - Missouri Speedgolf Open in Springfield, MO in May; US Speedgolf Open in Rome, NY in June; Kentucky Speedgolf Open in Louisville, KY in July. Speedgolf is the best - hope you give it a try.
I've been watching a lot of these speedgolf videos lately and I feel that leaving the putter at home is not worth whatever few seconds the "putterless" think they are saving themselves. Every additional putt adds a minute to your score and it is much easier to two putt with a putter than it is to run even faster to make up the minute you essentially lost.
Great point, David. I tend to agree with you. This particular round was one of the all time great wedge putting rounds and STILL one could make the argument Rob lost 3.5 strokes compared to a standard putter
Yes! We send a crew out after each tournament round to put sand in divots and fix ball marks on the green (though in most tournaments you're supposed to fix your ball marks as you play)
We speedgolfers are comfortable looking silly as long as we get a good workout. Also, we usually play first thing in the morning. Most people never see how silly we look.
@@SpeedgolfBaby Golf itself can be a great social experience and benefit older folks in several useful ways. Not something busy, fit young humans really require. You want pointless? NASCAR comes to mind.
@@mikebell0315 That's a really thoughtful comment, Mike. I appreciate it and mostly agree. Although I actually know a few families who bond over NASCAR (not my favorite sport by any stretch). If you want my serious answer to your question above. The point of speedgolf is to play the game we love, get a workout, and get back to our families.

Maroochi!
I love his pre-shot routines :-)
Yes, Marucci!!!!

Brilliant, well done, love your clips on Tik tok thank you❤
Rob is an amazing teacher!
I would be out of breath after the first hole.😮😂😂😂
at that pace, anyone would be!
how is it scored?
do you win by time or by score? or is there some crazy calculation to include both factors?
Nothing too crazy. Strokes + minutes = speedgolf score. Rob shot 78 in 33:44 so his speedgolf score was 111:44. Thanks for watching!
@@SpeedgolfBaby thats relatively simple - thanks for the reply!
@@roidAholic My pleasure. Keep it in the short grass
What clubs are you using? Wedge, 7 , 3w?
I believe he played with Driver, 7i, Sand Wedge,
Marrooch you have to be the grasss!!!!!!
Channel. Your. Intent. Marooch!!!
just filming this is a secondary sport
underrated insight 👆
I gotta ask, what tees or what kinda yardage are they playing. I’m
Very interested.
Sure! Most speedgolf tournaments are played just over 6,000 yards. Horton Smith (this course) plays very close to that -- 6,100 yards; 4.2 mile run
Was this in 2023? Love this concept

This is completely wrong. He made a boatload of long putts.
He knows what a flat face is guys
@@perryblack448 we are probably judging too harshly. still, he brought a putter to Worlds 2024...
Great content but why are there two filmers 😂
Is it weird to have 2 cameras filming the same thing?
i love Roby Hogy
❤
Are the divots replaced?
Yes! We send a crew out after each tournament round to put sand in divots and fix ball marks on the green (though in most tournaments you're supposed to fix your ball marks as you play)
This looks silly, but no where near the silliness of frisbee/foot "golf"
We speedgolfers are comfortable looking silly as long as we get a good workout.
Also, we usually play first thing in the morning. Most people never see how silly we look.
And the point of this is what?
Golf is pointless, Mike. Surely you know that already!
