Rainbow Unicorns · Ep. 17 — Is speedgolf too expensive?

Join Luke Willett and Adam Lorton for a wide-ranging Rainbow Unicorns conversation about Adam’s first speedgolf tournament of the season, what makes the ultimate speedgolfer, whether speedgolf is too expensive, and the SpeedScore watch fleet coming to a tournament near you.

In this episode

  • Adam’s first tournament back and what early-season competitive speedgolf feels like.
  • What the “ultimate speedgolfer” actually needs: golf skill, running engine, transitions, temperament, and race judgment.
  • Whether speedgolf is expensive, and where the real cost barriers show up for new players.
  • Why shared timing and scoring infrastructure matters if the sport wants more credible events.
  • The promise of a SpeedScore watch fleet for tournaments.

Hosts

Adam Lorton is the publisher of Speedgolf Baby and a competitor trying to help make speedgolf easier to follow, easier to play, and harder to ignore.

Luke Willett is one of the sport’s most visible speedgolfers: a coach, creator, and elite competitor with strong opinions about how the game should grow.
