How likely is it that a golf ball could shatter a PVC pipe? The guy I
talked to manufactures the stuff, so I am inclined to believe him.

Is there another material that would be better? I am concerned that
metal pipes would either be too heavy or too fragile and probably a
lot more expensive. Another option is wood, but I wold think it would
be heavier than PVC and there is more maintenance.

Any other suggestions I should be looking at?

Thin wall metal tubing. How about electrical conduit?
