Swing Right Golf Adds Water Hazard

Mother Nature Adds Water Hazard to Swing Right Golf

Springfield, MO—Local driving range and miniature golf course business, Swing Right Golf, added a new water hazard last week. Water hazards, like bunkers, are natural obstacles designed to add both beauty and difficulty to a golf course.

Swing Right Golf owners reportedly wanted to increase the profile of the practice course by situating a natural watershed between the teeing ground and the markers. “Since the entire valley flooded, I suppose we will need to add buoys as yardage markers and invest in some floating balls until the water subsides,” said one manager.

A press release from Swing Right Golf quoted the owner as saying “we’ve always wanted a small stream winding through the countryside to add to our aesthetic, however Mother Nature decided a total douching would be more challenging for our players.”

Local watershed partnerships are applauding the move and the decision to use the “earth’s design” instead of pumping or redirecting water flow into the area.

When golfers at the range hit into the hazard, the player has the option of playing the ball as it lies in the hazard or taking a stroke and distance penalty by playing a substitute ball from the spot at which they hit into the hazard. So far, business has increased as golf fanatics are eager to hit the links at the newly dubbed “Swim Right Golf” course.
