Porsche Cayenne Makes the Perfect ‘Outlaw Golf’ Cart
On the Off-Road Site of Porsche Leipzig
The driving test was interspersed with short rounds of cross golf to get everyone warmed up.
“The cars are not at risk,” says Orlik, because a cross golf ball weighs only about one third of a normal golf ball and is made of hard foam. So, dents or smashed windows are not a concern. Nevertheless, rule number one of cross golf still applies: Safety first! “We’re out to have fun, not to endanger anyone or anything.” This is always kept in mind when selecting an cross golf course.
After the cars and participants had been tested in off-road mode, they moved on to the next stages of the Porsche Crossdrive road trip. And these were as varied as the sport itself. Check out some of the awesome spots that were covered…
In contrast to classic golf, the play seldom revolves around holes. The targets are usually objects that have to be hit with the cross golf balls. And these targets can be anything from dustbins to signs to tree trunks. The paths to the objects also depart significantly from the rules of conventional golf: the more contorted the better. Wide open spaces are rather boring as the goal is to reach the target with as few strokes as possible.
On the last stage of the Porsche Crossdrive all of the participants are swinging their clubs almost like pros, but more importantly they’ve internalised the spirit of the sport: Have fun, be open, show consideration.
Anyone interested in seeing more of this trending sport has the opportunity on September 22 in Paris, a week before the Ryder Cup, where the first-ever World Urban Golf Cup will be staged. Orlik will be present once again as manager of the German national team.
