"Great golf is at the heart of speedgolf. And I think that’s what makes it such an interesting, new cross-discipline sport." - Pam Painter
Speedgolf is:
1) Great for fitness.
2) A sport that has its roots in fun
3) Invigorating, you get a thrill from doing it
4) Lends itself to our time-poor 21st century lifestyle
"I think really the involvement has come from a grown passion about the sport. I’m absolutely passionate to see that Speedgolf succeeds. So really you’re looking to use any vehicles you can to spread the word, and to get Speedgolf out there to as many people as possible." - Pam Painter
"Whether you want to play competitively, or just get out there, there’s something in Speedgolf for everybody." - Pam Painter
