THE PUMA OPEN: Tustin Ranch Golf Course, Los Angeles, CA June : The almostGOLF Hail Mary shot: As you all may know, the almostGOLF ball is a limited distance golf ball designed to hit over your house or fade around the jungle gym. It's not necessarilly a "golf course" golf ball. So when Puma Golf, our college campus tour clothing sponsor, gave us a shout and asked us if we would come to their Puma Golf Open series of on-the-golf-course events, we said...(in our best Californian)....LIKE-A-YEAH! Then it hit us, what are we going to do in the world of the real golf ball? What could we offer?

All it took was a Saturday morning bike ride, round of golf and a chill in the LA hot tub to come up with the answer. Basically, what is the difference between the almostGOLF ball and a traditional golf ball? The traditional golf ball flies a mile, it's amazingly awesome to hit...but it will kill you if it hits you. But the almostGOLF ball flies a human distance of about 50 yards with a 9 iron and you can catch it.  

YUREKA!...WE FIGURED IT OUT: The first ever 'HAIL MARY' Golf Shootout: So we created a contest. No, we created a whole new way to 'play' golf where the best ball striker gets in the 'hitters box' and the other three or four players go to the catchers box and tries to catch as many balls in a row. Well the video pretty much explains it. Everyone had a blast because when they drove up to our hole, it was something they never expected. It was active, involving and a definate challenge. It's really not that easy catching any object, much less a 'golf ball' from fifty yards. We had players digging for shots and diving over benches. I can definately say, Puma golfers know how to go for it.
