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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Record
Breakers: Have a fun competition for breaking course-specific 'Olympic
records' – like the fastest round, the most birdies, etc.
