Don’t laugh. I have a friend that has a golf ball launcher that is being used at golf scrambles. People pay to use the launcher for their drive. They are using Titegroup now and are hunting something to replace the Titegroup. Anybody have any experience with something like this
some people like silver and gold I like brass and lead with a little powder in between

Only one I’ve been around used compressed air that made it easy to adjust the velocity.

Used one last tournament I played and it was pneumatic using regulated CO2. Ball flight was right around 400 yards. Seems a lot safer too...
Pass the gravy.

Potato launcher? I was recently told by a GW that spud guns are now illegal..
As Sonny Corleone said “Schtoopid, Just Shtoopid”.

I thought yall used clubs...... Lots of golf tournaments are for charity. Vendor charges $25 or so per try with the launcher off the tee on one hole only and gives the proceeds to the cause at hand.
Pass the gravy.
