This post on how troops are making golf more interesting reminds me of an old Mad Magazine piece by Al Jaffe called The Mad Game of Basebrawl. Jaffe had defensive and offensive teams on the field at the same time. The offensive team would try to interfere with the fielders trying to put the batter out. The batter could carry his bat as he ran the bases and could pick up blockers as he went along. It was a pretty silly idea, but a very funny piece. In fact, I believe that was the spoof that started me reading Mad regularly.
it actually sounds pretty fun, though i cant imagine they would allow me to do that here at Torrey Pines with a couple of paint ball guns 🙂
It would be great to see a game played this way. You have a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing this with your readers.
