I was just putting an idea out there. There's already a 4-lane road through the golf course anyway (Courtland).
From Sydney/Nyberg where the IHT terminates using Canard's route it is 1.7km. The direct route across would be 700m. That's 1km savings, not 400m.
Why couldn't it be used as a route in the winter? Or outside of course hours? Or outside of peak hours; the course is pretty dead midday during the week (lost money last year as a city enterprise).
I have in fact been hit by a golf ball. I have also been hit by a truck. I can tell you the truck hurt a lot more. I would much rather take the small chance of getting hit by a small object 0.7% of my mass from a distance than a large object 100x my weight up close. You wouldn't be crossing a driving range it would cross four fairways at their midpoints.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
