Pub Golf

[Scoobs]

Howdy!

Any interested in an organised game of Pub Golf at Glastonbury this year? Probably on the Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm talking 9 - 18 bars, scorecards, pairing up with someone you may not know and all in fancy dress. Granddad caps and plus four fours essential

Anyone interested??

Sounds like a plan to me. Must spend a bit of time at the efest meet first though if we do it on the wednesday

I love this idea - Pub golf would be a great way to travel around the site and explore, plus a really good way for people to share their favourite little haunts around the site that people may have missed.

One problem, though. I am a teacher and have to work (and blag) pretty hard to get away with missing work on the Friday and so can't get on site before Thursday evening - normally about 7ish. Would there be any chance of making it Pub "night" golf so I could still participate?

I hate the fact that I miss out on the early-bird shenannigans these days, particularly as there seems to be a lot more to do these days.

Anyone got a map or locations or a list of pubs?

Preferably all of the above.

A lot of those wont be open on the Wednesday /Thursday, need to start from a list that has the bars that will actually be open. Brian(wbc_worker) can usually provide this, although as less bars are run by wbc every year it will not be a complete list.

I am defo in for a round of golf, oh yes

Surely most bars are open now on Wednesdays no?

Sounds like an excellent plan to me

[festival_badger]

This is such a good idea it has actually caused me to log in for the first time in ages!!

[Scoobs]

A list of open bars would be grand then we can plan a route. Can anyone name any that were definately open last year on the Wednesday??

Think this could work well

This is a brilliant idea. I'm pretty sure my dad would love this, he's definitely going.

What's the golf angle?

[LondonTom]

Most seemed to be open on the thursday at any rate last year!

Never done pub golf? Its good craic. You'll be absolutely scuttered too. The rules(ish) are above on the scorecard.

You basically get a lower score for a stronger drink, and then go onto the next pub/hole.

I'm in if that's okay? Would like to get into some of the efests stuff

[discodave80]

im definitely game and my mates are always saying something about me having a handicapp so i must be good!!

I always thought the way you played pub golf was by how many sips/gulps it took you to actually finish the drink, hence the similarity to shots on a golf course and the par of the hole. And to judge the par of the hole you usually pre-assign a type of drink to that hole. E.g. hole 1 would be a pint of cider and the par is 4, then the second could be a glass of wine which is a par 2 and then the third hole could be a shot which is a par 1.

And obviously the lowest score wins, so if you down all your drinks then you will get the lowest possible score.
