What is the name of a game where a golf ball is hit towards players holding paddles trying to knock it down?

Matt N asked:

I saw this once on ESPN in the late 90’s. A player with an over-sized driver would hit a golf ball towards a group of players that each held something that looked like a stop sign. These players would attempt to knock the ball down.

Can a golf ball be hit further with a driver or an aluminum bat?

GoBux asked:

What goes further under perfect conditions (no wind, average humidity, 72° F). A golf ball hit by an aluminum bat or a 460cc driver. The golf ball would be hit off a tee of course when being hit by the club. The ball when hit by the bat would just be tossed up and hit, not pitched. What do you think?

Do golf shoes really make that much of a differnece?

Spartan Golfer asked:

I just got some golf shoes (my first pair ever) and when I am using them on the course, they don’t seem to be making a diffence from my normal running shoes that I’d previously been using.

I was watching the Golf Channel one time and some old pro who always used metal spikes was forced to use soft spikes at some tournament. He said that he was literally slipping and sliding during his swing.

I’m not sure, do they?
I know that’s what they’re supposed to do, but I don’t feel any difference between shoes.
