Golf traditions with buddies....

[Smooth spin scott]

Thought I would start a thread wanting to share traditions the guys and I have in respect to golf..Share yours! Could be trips, tournaments, games etc. A few things that we have been doing for years:

 

1) Every September we play a 2 Man/27 Hole Challenge. 9 Hole Best ball, 9 Hole Scramble and 9 hole Alternate Shot. We are all between scratch and 15 handicaps so we match teams of 2 up accordingly. Always a great day of golf! Started with 6 of us, now we have 24 players. Winning score last year was 8 under.

 

2) The "GOOFY" 1 club challenge (and putter). Play from white tees, course is 5900 yards. started with 8 of us now we are up to 20. Everyone chooses 1 club (7 iron usually club of choice) and you're allowed to use putter so that we don't damage greens. Always played last week of October where here in Canada its cold and wet.....marks the end of the season for us. We've played in snow, sleet, rain, sunshine and the occasional 30mile an hour wind. Going on 7th year. Great shot skills shown by all members, winning score last year was 72(par 70) highest being 86...goes to show you what happens when you keep it in play!

 

 

 

At no point have we ever cracked a coffee and baileys or scotch on the course! :)

 

Any cool traditions??

I play in a little tournament among my friends (8 people) in memory of a good friend of ours who died last year in a car accident pursuing his dream in California. We play it on the day he died (Jan 4) at Rancho Las Palmas CC which was his home course gowing up. He was a great player and a great person and is always sorely missed. The tournament is just our way of showing how important he was in our lives.
