...sounds like an excellent idea charles. There are a couple of nice public courses in Niagara Falls NY (off the Lewiston border), that are very reasonably priced and usually not very busy. Usually you. just need to tell customs that you're only planning on leaving a few golf balls to get waived through.
but i 'gotta' warn you, when i play golf cheating is allowed.
