1.
Why Golf?
On the surface, Goth and sport might not go hand in hand,
but if you think about it, is there a more depressing
sport than golf? Either that or maybe we just like alliteration.
Seriously though, golf is (in theory) a non-contact sport
which means there won't be any makeup smudges. It
can be played at night with little difficulty, and doesn't
involve running around.

2. Why Goth?
Our concept originally identified Goths as a primary audience
since they were seen as a sub-culture that was largely
shunned by mainstream society. Some may argue that this
is purely by choice; however it seemed only right that
we offered an alternative for those individuals who agreed
with our mission to reduce the gap in societies (so it's
an alternative to an alternative, really.) Refer to a
search engine for more information on Goths in general.

3. Why do you choose to
play at night-time?
Habitually, Goths aren't a fan of the light (in a
similar way that Aaron isn't a fan of the ladies).
By conducting golf games at night-time, we reduce the
amount of public rubbernecking and create a comfortable
environment for Goths to express their talent. This may
be allowed by the use of select artificial-lighting and
the implementation of glow-in-the-dark golf balls.

4. How did this get started?
Gothic Golf began at the turn of the millennium as a high
school student's dream in the form of a Visual Communication
assignment. The concept was refined and realised throughout
the duration of 2001 and took off with overwhelming interest
from the public and limited media coverage. The Gothic
Golf concept was created in 2001 with the web site launched
in 2002.

5. Where can I go to
play?
Gothic Golf is a conceptual variation of the
game of golf. Gothicgolf.com shares this concept in good
faith but does not offer a venue for play. We offer a
range of merchandise such as trophies to support players
of this concept. This site is not connected to any venue
and it is up to you to locate such a venue. There are
no plans to publish a list at this stage however there
has been no shortage of interest - perhaps you know someone
who knows someone.

6.
As Goths are totally metal, is there a risk of a lightning
strike?
Golf is known for its risk to players during a lightening
storm. Unfortunately Goths suffer the same vulnerability.
If this is a concern to you, we recommend you undertake
further research.
