Yes, but ..

Can you play Dropgolf wherever you like?

.. What happens when a party playing Dropgolf catches up with a group who plays classic golf?

Today a single player or a group of two Tee golf players often catches up with a group of four players. There is a tradition in the golf etiquette for solving this. A Dropgolf group will play through faster as it just walks through. The majority of golf courses are most of the time not very overcrowded.

At Business golf events, you have full control of the course, and there can be no crowding issues with those who play classic Tee golf

I love hitting those long shots

.. I just love when my tee shot swishes away down the fairway.

It is a great feeling, keep enjoying your tee shots when you play Tee golf.

.. golf isn't supposed to be played like Dropgolf.

Things just change, sometimes they even have to.

.. why can't you play short hole courses when you haven't got time for a full round of golf.

You can play Dropgolf at all golf courses. And you would miss the long walk - yes we know that (too) many use golf carts - in lovely surroundings and the chat with your fellow players. You have to consider many aspects.

Short hole courses whether 6, 9 or 12 holes are all Tee golf. Dropgolf is a different concept.

I am in no hurry

.. I have got all the time in the world to play a normal round of golf.

No reason to change unless you feel like testing; like trying a new dish now and then.

I like things the way they are

.. my club, pro, husband, organization, etc. will have a hard time accepting Dropgolf.

A drop excavates the stone, not by force but by falling often. One can always test Dropgolf at the home club.

Questions

1. Is it in agreement with the general rules of golf to play Dropgolf.

Yes and no. Dropgolf is played by standard rules, except that you start playing 100 meters/110 yards from the center of the green.

2. What happens when a party of Dropgolfers catches up with a group who plays Tee golf?

At Business golf events, you have full control of the course, and there can be no crowding issues with those who play classic Tee golf.

Today a single player or a group of two Tee golf players often catches up with a group of four players. There is a tradition in the golf etiquette for solving this. A Dropgolf group will pass or play through faster than a Tee golf group.

Most of the time most golf courses aren't crowded to a degree where playing Dropgolf will be a big issue. As in so many other areas, we will see an adaption to circumstances. We will post updates. However, we think that some new and often local guidelines will be established as we all gain more experience. Eventually, Dropgolf will be integrated into existing booking systems.

3. Who decides the rules of Dropgolf?

Until an official organization like Royal and Ancient adds some rules about Dropgolf, Dropgolf AB is responsible for the rules. The rules are subject to revisions and suggestions are welcome. Golf Clubs are free to add local rules.

4. Why is Dropgolf played within 100 and 10 meters from the green?

That distance is marked on almost every course in the world and the next common marker at 150 meters would have been too far away from the green. We have developed special Dropgolf markers, and you can buy them at our e-shop.

10 meters was estimated as a minimum not to make it too easy or puttable.
