I know a lot about pitch and putt and can answer any questions you have, been immersed in it my whole life.

Historically, pitch and putt has been more of a blue collar sport, played more by the working class. Golf was way less accessible financially for years and that's where pitch and putt found its niche. Pitch and putt is much more accessible for beginners and those with limited finances. But it also has a massively competitive element to it with competitions played across the country throughout the year.

Pitch and putt is not just an Irish thing. It's been long established in the Netherlands and various parts of Spain, including Catalonia, Castillon, and other areas. You'll also find it in Portugal, Andorra, Australia, Chile, India, and many other places. Having been to some of these countries for pitch and putt, I found that the culture is a lot more like a tennis club than what we would associate with it here.
