Ideas for the Olympic Themed Ladies Member/Guest



 I recently found out this years Ladies Member/Guest will have an Olympic Theme.  I just wanted to share 10 ideas I found while researching online for some Olympic-themed golf games to possibly include:

  1. Golf Decathlon: Create a 10-hole challenge with each hole representing a different Olympic event. For example, one hole could be themed after archery, where precision is key, and players must hit a target area on the fairway or green. Another could be synchronized swimming, where teams must try to sync their shots as closely as possible.
  2. Long Drive Competition (Javelin Style): Emulating the javelin throw, a long drive competition can be a thrilling part of your tournament. Participants can be judged on distance, but you can add an Olympic twist by also awarding points for style or adherence to a theme.
  3. Putting Relay: Inspired by relay races, this can be a team event where each player must sink a putt before the next player can go. Time penalties can be added for missed putts, and the fastest team wins.
  4. Shot Put Challenge: This could be a fun chipping contest. Set up circles with increasing points at different distances. The further the chip, the more points they score, similar to the shot put.
  5. Golf Biathlon: Combine a putting or chipping challenge with a non-golf activity, such as a trivia quiz about the Olympics or a quick task that requires physical dexterity. This would be a fun way to mix mental and physical challenges.
  6. Opening Ceremony Parade: Have an opening ceremony where each team dresses up representing different countries, complete with flags and possibly themed outfits. This can be a parade on golf carts before the start of the tournament.
  7. Medal Ceremony: After the event, have a medal ceremony for the winners of different categories. You can have gold, silver, and bronze medals for various achievements throughout the day, not just for the lowest scores.
  8. Olympic Trivia Holes: At certain holes, before they can take their shot, players must answer an Olympic trivia question. A correct answer could offer a reward like a preferred lie or a mulligan.
  9. Torch Run Challenge: Incorporate a special challenge where players have to 'carry the torch' (this could be a special club or marker) from one hole to another without 'extinguishing' it (e.g., avoiding bunkers or water hazards).
  10. Record Breakers: Have a fun competition for breaking course-specific 'Olympic records' – like the fastest round, the most birdies, etc.
