The final kick in the arse makes it.
I’m just glad the guy with the gun didn’t shoot anyone.

Somewhere between regular golf and mini-golf, basically. Short courses where you don’t have to use a driver club.

What’s up with the shotgun? He seemed to move to “shoot” it three times, but nothing happened.

Par 3 course is the common term on this side of the pond. All you need is a 6 iron, Pitching wedge and a putter.

This happpened in County Cork in the Republic, at the southern tip of the island of Ireland, so the answer is probably no.

he’s definitely old enough to have seen some wartime action. he definitely was NOT going to put up with their bullshit. and can we get a shoutout for the guy behind the counter? he was brave as shit, too.

I’m guessing that if the other two only have hammers, there probably wasn’t enough money for ammo, either.

I’m pretty sure a Par 3 course is distinct from a pitch and putt… par 3 generally means holes where it’s less than 200 yards from tee to green, and a par 3 golf course consists entirely of par 3 holes. A Pitch and Putt doesn’t even have tees… you don’t drive at a Pitch and Putt.
