Playing Golf with 15-Inch Holes

It's not miniature golf. Far from it--you play on regular golf courses. But Big Hole Golf, as the sport is called, uses holes that are 15-inches across. That's much bigger than the 4 and 6-inch regulation hole diameters.

Hack Golf developed the game as part of an effort to lure more people into a sport that is declining in popularity in the United States. John Paul Newport of the Wall Street Journal explains that much of a round of golf is spent waiting on other players to finish their times on putting greens. By making putting easier, a game goes quicker, often shaving 30-45 minutes off an 18-hole round.
