Weirdest thing you have won?

[hell_is_chrome]

My Uncle and I and 2 of his friends once finished in last place in a 4 man scramble. We won a men's urinal:

 

We passed that thing back and forth between us for years, usually wrapped up as a birthday or Christmas present. It was somewhat embarrassing to finish last but was for a good cause, my Uncle and his buddies were police officers and it was their local FOP scramble.

[Baitkiller]

That is not a urinal. That my friend is a "COMPETITION CUP"
See the graduation marks?

Well I guess Y'all have never spent a week in a hunting lodge...

Good and useful prize, specifically for road trips when you have 3 boys in the car.

A pair of brown socks. I worked at the course at Duke in the early 90s, and they had a tourney called The Dunky, or The Dumpy. I'm not sure, but it was named after an early golf coach. It was a real fun tourney that did some goofy things like having big cups on some holes, and having multiple cups on others. The golf coaches at Duke played. A lot of course employees played. You had to be invited, you couldn't just sign up. A guy in my group won the long drive, and everybody in the group won brown socks. The tourney was in Nov. or Dec. , and the prizes were things the pro shop couldn't get rid of.

Assembly required black powder handgun kit. I never did put it together and years later gave it away.

Once won a homemade pie for longest drive and a Heineken neon sign for first place in a scramble. Great night.

[CheckJV]

I won a replacement set of metal spikes for a closest to the pin prize. And yes, metal spikes had been banned for more than a decade. Maybe I should join the PGA Tour?

Also won nothing for a hole-in-one in a tournament with prizes on all the remaining par 3s.

[flip flappy]

Just this past Friday I won a Nike golf shirt! Size medium......women's! A far cry from a 2x that
I need to cover my gut.

[WalleyeDave]

Had my name in a drawing at a scramble and won a carpet cleaning. Hell I've already got my own carpet cleaner.

[Forged4ever]

WoW, looking back over this thread has only reinforced two things, #1, that "weird," like almost evey other adjective in the English lexicon, is relative, and #2, and I have my father to thank for this pearl-

I should just STFU and be thankful for what I got

Mink earmuffs?

Nice, but WTF, lol

I once won a long drive contest in a scramble and my prize was a bud light lime visor..

[ats200]

I'm still a small guy, but in high school i was a twig, about 5'7 and 130lbs and played in a charity scramble with my dad. I won longest putt and won a XXL Nike golf shirt with the local high school logo on it, Everyone there was cracking up because I could have fit about 4 of me in that thing. Not a weird prize just not very suitable for me :-)

I gave it to another guy in my group who was an alum of the school

[Michael C.]

I won a sand wedge.......I'm a lefty.....do I really need to finish this story?

[boxerjoe2011]

I won a dog bowl once. It was all chromed up and laser etched at the bottom stating the tournament name and all that. To their credit, the tournament benefitted dog and cat rescue foundations. My dog actually uses the bowl when she wants to eat like a champion.

[/quote]LMAO, I won a closest to the pin and won a Coors Light Silver Bullet black/silver visor, lol

As Coors light is my top selling tap beer and #3 bottled, and the visor actually does look pretty cool, I wear it occasionally in tourneys and I've actually had peeps, who know that I own a bar ask me if they "sponsor" me in any way.

Straight faced I answer, "Yea, and I've got the only deal where I write THEM(actually the distributor) a check multiple times a month for the privilege"

Hats Off Fish

Very Well Played!!

Have a Great Weekend My Friend,

That's hilarious! I will wear the bud visor from time to time, just to get a few laughs. Needless to say I will always get a few comments in the stag room after tournaments but it's all in good fun!

[fishstix94]

Some of these prizes are hilarious! I wonder what the host of the tournament was thinking!!!

[Your-away!]

played a charity 4 man scramble for work, it was at a crappy course about a 2 hour drive away, none of us liked the course, clubhouse was basically a hut, greens looked like they had been cut out of a fairway, not great.

anyway our team came second, the prize...a free round at the same course!

[cardoustie]

I just recall the time I got F'd at a charity scramble. The prizes were all based on raffle tickets which I had spent $100 on

One of my ticket numbers is called first for a set of Armour 885 irons, as I am walking up they change it to a bag of rice. They had forgotten to get rid of the donated cheapo gifts first

What was I to do?

[vbb]

I won a closest to the pin prize that was two tickets to any regular-season professional major sporting event (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, or PGA). Nosebleed seats of course, and you had to pay your own transportation. I never turned it in, although now that I think about it at the very least I should have redeemed the thing for some tickets and given them away or resold them. Oh well.

Once I did buy a raffle ticket for a playing partner of mine that didn't have cash on him and he actually won the grand prize which was a new washer and dryer set. Turns out he was moving into a new condo later that month and I already had a washer/dryer so I didn't even bother trying to split the prize with him (not that he was offering to do so, but I could have probably guilted him into it). The set was worse than the one I already had, but I guess we could have sold it for cash and split the money. Oh well on this one too.

[JumboJack]

I was invited to play in a small scramble event, like 8 groups total... There were CTP on every par three and four long drive holes. They were worth 15.00 ea. that was cool, I think I won three total. But my team won the tourney and we won..... A tub of Red Vines each.

Played in a charity fundraising scramble one year in Mount Olive, NC, won closest to pin prize on a par 3, the prize- a case of pickles. Donated prize to a local food pantry- for the next month, in my group any iron shot around the pin was referred to as a "Vlasically good" shot.

[u][b]A sausage on a bun.[/b][/u]

I was playing a little nassau at Bow Creek one day with my usual band of criminals . This was some years ago. I hit my tee shot on the par 5 third hole and it drifted a little right and caught a branch. The ball ended up inside the tree line along the OB fence of somebody's back yard about 200 from the green with little room to do very much with it. My buddy and I drive up to my ball and we see a guy and his wife cooking sausages outside on the other side of the fence. The other 2 guys in our foursome were up along the left side of the fairway and didn't know what was going on with me and my partner. The guys wife was super friendly and made a comment that I wouldn't get near the green from where I was on my next shot. I said Oh Yeah? ....... I'll bet you one of those sausages that I will get it around the green. Everyone was laughing, and her husband said......let's see it! I ripped a choked down low screaming 2 iron through the trees that sliced perfectly. The ball settled down nicely about 6 yards off the right side of the green. The guy and his wife went into hysterics laughing. She ran over to the fence and handed my partner and I......... a big ole sausage on a bun.

When we finally got up near the green, the other two guys in our group had dumbfounded looks on their faces seeing us eating a couple a sausages. All we could do was laugh.

Kindve related but we won a four man charity scramble a couple years ago. We didn't expect much and we didn't care, it was for a good cause. Well we end up winning $300 each in the pro shop, a great haul and we were floored. WELL, they then gave second place their prize, ONE dozen Nike Distance balls. Not one dozen to each player but each player literally got one sleeve. We all kind of felt bad and thought it was a joke. I guess they were going to do winner take all then decided they needed more prizes. We were all overly thankful that we didn't finish second, that's an $1175 drop from first to second. Ouch.

[MaybeImLeftHanded]

Won a ladder once. Very strange.

[shanempowell]

I've never been so pleased to come in second than when each team member was given a quart of maple syrup. I'm sure the value was at least equal to the frozen water filled turkeys the winners took home. Third place was a jar of honey from the club pro's bee hives. I will now play for second every year. Perhaps it would be more "weird" if I didn't live in New Hampshire.

[flip flappy]

Played in scramble this morning that was for an great cause. Urban Ministry that helps a lot of people. For the door prizes I won a nice set of ear buds. They had a raffle that was $10 per ticket. I was not going to buy one, but the head of the organization came in to the sign up area and was really having fun hooping it up about the grand prize: 60" flat screen tv. He was so funny and enthusiastic that I ponied up 10 bucks for a ticket. The tournament got cut short by 4 holes due to lightning so we gathered for lunch and prizes. Could not believe it when they called my number as the winner of the TV! The door prizes were great but it was the first tournament I had seen that had that many electronics and accessories for prizes. Different but in a good way....for me at least. Brought the TV home and told my wife I had bought it for her birthday in a couple of weeks. She knows I am too cheap to do something like that so she figured out pretty quick that I had won it. Pretty excited wife and daughter.

[golfandfishing]

Won a forged gift certificate to a local restaurant once.
