Bar Golf: The Latest Drinking Craze

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Bar golf is a relatively new drinking game that’s gaining a lot of attention from the young adults around the globe. If you have not heard about the game before, below are the guidelines and regulations to creating your own game.

The purpose of bar golf is to choose 9 of your most frequented watering “holes” and set up different rules at each one to make bogies, pars, birdies and eagles. Scoring an eagle at a hole would involve a lot more alcohol intake than getting a par which, in turn, would be tougher than getting a bogey. Careful thought must be taken to make certain the drinks aren't all too easy or all too hard to attain. Clearly you don't want some experienced drinkers to get an eagle on every hole yet you do not want your fellow golfers to puke trying to get an eagle on a hole. Bar golf needs time and consideration when planning. Here are a couple simple things to consider when setting up a game.

Keep it fun: The most vital part of any game is to have fun. Make it not simply about drinking but other humorous activities as well. The creator of the game should make his or her fellow golfers do random, embarrassing activities as part of the game. This can include giving a high five, compliment, or chest bump to a stranger, shouting famous expressions after taking a shot or drink, doing push-ups or any other physical action in the middle of the bar. Take time and be creative when considering these as it has a tendency to be the most important part of the game.

Have several fouls set in place: Creating “penalty stroke” rules will make it so not as many persons tie at the end, while adding to the fun. Throwing up, forgetting to close a tab, not finishing a beer or going to the restroom on certain holes are all good ideas to count as penalty strokes to contribute to the range of the game.

Set a cutoff point on each hole: Having a timeline for each hole will prevent golfers from showing up hours apart at the end of the game. Not everything goes according to plan when alcohol is introduced but it will keep your golfers a little more organized and together than not having a timeline.

Select the bars: Always try and select bars that are walking distance from one another. It is important to remember that you should not have golfers driving at any time after the first few holes. Having them all close together also helps on the timing and keeps golfers close together in case they do not want to go to all 9 bars or are running behind. Dive bars often have the best atmosphere for the event.

Spread the word: Playing bar golf with just a few people really isn’t worth all of the effort. A great way to get the word out is to make an event on Facebook. Although it is more fun to play with a large group of friends, you also need to be sure it doesn't get out of hand. One bad seed can ruin the fun for a large amount of people.

Safety First: The most important thing to abide by in bar golf is safety. This includes making sure that everyone takes a cab home or has a sober driver waiting for them at the 9th hole. Have mulligans set in place to allow golfers to play without getting too drunk. Also, it is vital to recollect that this is simply a game. There is no need for some “big shot” making an attempt to prove he's got the highest tolerance by going for an eagle on each hole and winding up in an ambulance. People who are annoying drunks, too competitive or aren't in it for the fun shouldn't really be invited to visit the event.

It is important to notice that I don't condone any of these activities and that this article is for informative purposes only.
