While I remember (part 1)

[mrph]

Someone was playing Urban Golf by the Binley Road Kwik Save when I walked past at about 9PM on Monday. This scares me. Despite the recent article on urban golf in the Independent, I'd assumed it was mostly a hoax...

Still, I'm starting to think it has a great future ahead of it. Possibly as a Playstation extreme sports game, in a similar vein to the SSX snowboarding ones? It has potential... :)

That just gives me the fear (not to mention making me wonder where they got the golf clubs from!)

And I somehow suspect that Urban SSX would lead quite rapidly to that favorite family game - 'Urban Suicide'. (I can see it on the ring road but i don't think coventry city council would be in favor of shutting the road!)

I did wonder about the clubs myself...

Well, yes. I was thinking more the other way 'round though - A PlayStation 2 Urban Golf game, where your indestructible avatar can play in the traffic to your heart's content. :-)

Possibly with the option to discourage police and/or maim competitors with a well-aimed four iron?

Spoilsport, I have a number of students who may just have believed me about my version! An exellent and quick way to reduce the appearence of the stupid gene!

Disclimer: I do not in any way believe that all students are stupid, I just don't ever get to deal with them!

As a rule, the ones who aren't stupid ask less question. Or at least less stupid questions. They're certainly less likely to ask the same stupid question five times...
