There's anime out there about pretty much any activity being practised by cute girls as a high-school club activity... but I don't recall any about golf. Maybe nobody could commit to a Hokago Tee Time.

I'm pretty sure there's a golfer-girls anime airing right now, or as part of the current season anyway. I don't remember the name though, I skip all sports anime by default so "golf" was as far as I read before moving on.
eta: a quick search brings up Birdie Wing -Golf Girls' Story- which pretty much puts it right on the tin
e2: the trailer makes them look older than the usual high schoolers, but that could just be the art style. Also seems to shiptease a yuri crush? "Her golf swing is just so amazing! Perfection! (heart eyes!)"

Indeed there is, but it isn't a "Cute Girls doing Cute Things" anime. More of a "Girls with Guns" anime, in the vein of Noir or Madlax. It is actually scripted by the author of Madlax, and apparently happens in the same universe. Also made by a Gundam studio, which explains why the blonde protagonist (an amnesiac foundling that may or may not be a clone of one of the greastest golfers ever) was taught golf by Char Aznable's seiyuu while the brunette rival/yuri love interest (the daughter of two of the greastest golfers ever and raised from birth to be the greatest golfer ever) is coached by Amuro Rei's seiyuu.
And there are rival mafia gangs settling billion dollar disputes with literally underground illegal golf deathmatchs in a geofront playing on a mechanically randomizing golf court.
It's so over the top it is hilarious. You should really check it out.

We've switched Nanoha Takamachi (Lyrical Nanoha) with Ann Takamaki (Persona 5). Let's see what happens next in both continuities...

They'd leave a little. Just enough to know what you're looking through.

I'm not sure it wouldn't actually belong in the other thread, but what about an Ender issekai on Westeros? Yes, it's Ender's Game of Thrones, followed perhaps by Speaker For The Undead...
From there... Dracocide? Children of the Forest? There's actually something like twenty novels and short stories in the Ender's Game continuity, with at least one more still pending to complete another trilogy with the first two books in 2016 and 2019 according to Wikipedia.

how about "End Zoner's Game" in which several members of the Wedge Defence Force get annoyed with a game Zoner is constantly playing. 8P

Or how about Ender's Squid Game, purely to see what kinds of insanity result?

Has anybody ever crossed the "L is real 2401" meme and Death Note?
No?
Good...

I dunno, Luigi replacing L might make an interesting short, at least.

No one went for Squid Girl Game? And here I thought the Japanese were always up for inkvading Korea.
