What is speedgolf?

Speedgolf is a sport that combines golf score and running time. Players complete a round as quickly as possible, usually carrying a small set of clubs, and their final speedgolf score adds strokes plus elapsed minutes.

In standard speedgolf scoring, a player who shoots 82 in 48 minutes records a speedgolf score of 130. Lower is better.

The format rewards two skills at once: playable golf under pressure and efficient movement around the course. You do not need to run every step to begin, but the clock is always part of the round.
