The bad boys of German Crossgolf are at it again.
Thorsten Shilling and the wild crew of Natural Born golfers took to the streets of Berlin for the semi-annual Rock & Hole Berlin tournament. Below is their highlight video and an exerpt from the local Berlin press about the event.
I’ve also included some earlier videos from their madder days of what we call ‘danger ball’ when they were using real golf balls around real people. (Note to NBG…start using off course balls so no one gets hurt. It’s better for the game.)
ARTICLE: (sorry for the google translation) Excitement, fun and action at Rock’n'Hole stood high on the agenda: The hottest Urban Golf event in the country invited the Natural Born Golfers FluxFM and the radio station in Berlin. Nearly 60 Rock’n'Holer made over the weekend to the capital of their playground, courtesy of Citroen DS4 and Jägermeister.
For the best golf weather, sunny and windless, the guerrilla golfers hit along the Spree: After a short ride, the fun tournament started in an empty lot at the Rummelsburg Bay, where the warm-tee was held. The various changes of location during the day were the thanks of the Citroen DS4-provided fleet breeze. In addition, supplied the Cool Car, a bar to unfunktionierter Citroen DS4, the Urban golfers with properly tempered cold drinks.

On the deck of cruise boat Spree gem made it to the weekend athlete once comfortably before the bow of the ship was weitergegolft out. After sunset, guests danced to the songs of Monica and The Explosion, supported by former UK Subs bassist Paul Slack.
Torsten Schilling, founder of the Natural Born Golfers, said of the event: “Rock’n'Hole is the symbiosis of urban golf and music – and that’s exactly what makes the spirit of the Natural Born Golfers is.”
To the surprise of Rock’n'Holer is also a rotund man in skin-tight roped, red Spandexanzug of Oberbaumbrücke on the boat from – no less than Elektrick Bubi, the company said the well-tempered with his electric sound further into the party mood. Another surprise attack led by the Jägermeister crew who boarded the ship in daring action: from a speedboat off the schnapps-Pirates rushed on board and mingled with the surprised passengers.
