I believe hobbits do have some form of golf. I keep thinking I've read somewhere about Bullroarer Took whacking some goblin's head off with a stick, and the head rolled into a hole, thus creating the sport. Mind you, I can't seem to recall exactly where, though I'm quite sure it is in Lord of the Rings somewhere--I've already checked Hobbit. Direct quote from the passage would be nice.

Please tell me I am not insane. Yet.
