CONGRATULATIONS KLAUS SIMIANER: You did it. The first CrossGolf visa on the planet. Way to go. this photo was taken last year while Klaus was in the alps. This is what I call commitment to the cause. Everyone in the cross – street and urbangolf world should get one of these. Heck, we could put [...]
A NEW WAY TO PLAY GOLF USING A FRISBEE DISC. This is an easy way to play pick up urban, street or crossgolf around the neighborhood. All you need is a frisbee, a club, an astroshag and some almostGolf balls and you can virtually play anywhere. This is serious old school pick up golf, but [...]
HERE IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF HOW GOLF NEEDS TO CHANGE: I had to put this article up because it’s all about growing golf beyond the boundry of the golf course. Though almostGolf could not make it to the PGA Merchandise show, the word is out that they are the cutting edge of off-course [...]
NICE CROWD BUDDY!!! Nice intro, production value and CROWD OF STREETGOLFERS!!! This is a great streetgolf clip because they actually took the subway from hole to hole. Of course they had some holes in the subway as they were traveling. Putting on a moving subway is a putting feat of skill. This was also a [...]
STREETGOLF DRIVING RANGE: The 19th hole (http://www.19mtrou.com) in Paris figured out how to turn on new golfers by setting up a streetgolf driving range. They hit into garbage cans and shopping carts and clearly had a blast. How is that for growing the game of golf? It’s really taking the sport of golf back to [...]
THIS HAS BEEN AN AMAZING WINTER. Since we began writing this blog the world of CrossGolf – urbangolf and StreetGolf have exploded. There is no better example than what’s been happening in Germany with Crossgolf-portal.de. They built a huge community. I guess it’s time to start some crews in the US. So if you want [...]
DO YOU THINK URBANGOLF AND STREETGOF ARE STILL FRINGE SPORTS? I don’t think so anymore. Our streetgolf buddies at the 19th Hole in Paris (www.19mtrou.com) have put together the first map of all the urban and Streetgolf clubs in and around France. These include a few clubs from Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and Holland. CLICK ON [...]
THE PARIS PRO TOUR MASTER CLASS. This video screams “STREETGOLF” in all it’s artistic glory “The 19th hole” (http://www.19mtrou.com/index.php) out of Paris, has to be one of the best streetgolf, urbangolf or crossgolf video crews in the world. Who cares what they call it. Their videos are amazing and this one is no exception. It’s [...]
WHAT HAPPENED IN 2010: During the past year we’ve moved the cause of all sorts of off-course, urban, almost, cross and street golf forward. We put on five tournaments in LA and saw another 25 worldwide. We also set up the OCGA website. We have even put up over 100 articles about all parts of [...]
NICE STREET GOLF CLIP: You can find Los Golfos under urbangolf on Youtube, but this really is pure, unwashed, unadulterated streetgolf in it’s finest form. I mean they are hitting off what we call in LA the deck, the hard pan the flat top…the street. This goes further into the street than I’ve ever gone. [...]
THIS LOOKED LIKE SUCH A GREAT VIDEO GAME…what happened to it? No one knows. It must have gone BK and left the intro site up. What are your thoughts of the Gorilla Golf style? Pretty cool in some ways. Not you usual golf attire. I think it’s got a lot of streetgolf and urbangolf style [...]
IS THIS STREET GOLF or SUBURBANGOLF? These guys have the right idea…But the wrong balls. Sure, they couldn’t afford the golf course, but to go to the store and buy crappy wiffle golf balls to play a marathon 3 mile long course is a tough one. I recommend real off-course golf balls next time and [...]
I STUMBLED UPON THESE GUYS and they turned me onto a whole new crew of urbangolfers in Brazil. It looks like urban golf Halifax originates in, yes, Nova Scotia, but they talk a lot about west coast urban golf in Brazil. They look like a pretty cool crew. I like their views on urban golf [...]
THE BEGINNING OF A VERSION OF GOLF: In 2001 we produced the first legitimate off-course campus golf event through Loyola Marymount University. This event began everything for the almostGolf ball. At the time we’d not even invented the ball. We played the event with a hollow plastic practice ball that we dipped in tool handle [...]
THERE IS A NEW ‘URBANGOLF’ KID ON THE BLOCK IN BRAZIL: Here is a clip they got on MTV Brazil. I suggest installing a google toolbar with google translation. It makes reading foriegn website easy. http://www.westcoast.com.br/urbangolf/sobre-urban-golf/ Review of urbangolf Brazil website. I like their point of view. It’s very much like what is happening in [...]
HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE LOS GOLFOS CREW: I like their clips and their point of view of StreetGolf. These guys not only have mad GOLF skills, but they are truly bridging the gap between street culture and golf. In their intro video they showed their ‘streetgolf’ balls to disbelieving by standers and they [...]
I JUST GOT THIS OFF MY FACEBOOK FEED: A nice video of my buddy Steffen in Danemark hitting a glow in the dark almostGolf ball. It’s really just a matter of time before glow in the dark cross golf, street golf, urban golf and off-course golf begin to take off. When it comes to playing [...]
No golfer looks forward to the off season. It’s usually cold, the sun goes down early, the golf ball becomes hard and painful to hit and in the case of golf, many golf courses close for the season. So what do you do to keep your swing going and have some fun at the same [...]
This was clearly a golf promotion to a bunch of folks who basically ride bikes and have never seen either end of a golf club. The best part is the editing and the boxer checking out the flying balls. I know he wanted to jump off his leash and consume every ball they were hitting.
Golf urbain Paris-La Defense: (Translation: In defense of urban golf…in Paris?) This is an interesting urban golf video in that they are playing through Paris, but some of the shots are golf balls and many are clearly not because there is no way they could take a driver out and hit towards the Eiffel Tour. [...]
LUKAS PODOLSKI: THE GOLF DISRUPTER: It seems the Law professional is at it again. These is nothing better than messing with someones junk when they are on the putting green. Not only are they not expecting it. THEY ARE GOLFERS….so they don’t know how to act. What do you do? Call the cops…start a fight…tell [...]
Klaus Simianer is a great camera man. If you just want to see how great a European vacation can be, check this clip out. This is a clip he shot during a 5 day, 1,673 kilometer road trip from Heidelberg to Berlin via Hamburg and then Zurüch and finally back to Heidelberg. Of course there [...]
