How to Play Pub Golf

A good event for University Friends, Societies, Clubs, and Halls of Residence.

i have produced PDF downloads for the guide that contains all the information and material you need to hold a Pub Golf event.

Setting up a Pub Golf Event

Step 1: decide on a date and time for the event. i love uni Pub Golf is played over 9 holes because if the event’s played correctly you’ll be on the floor by then and unable to finish 18!

Step 2: decide upon what pubs/bars you are going to and in what order.

Step 3: tell/email everyone inviting them to sign-up/come to the event*.

Step 4: put up promotional posters on notice boards.

*Please note ALL players must be dressed in suitable golf attire to participate in the event. An Official also needs to be appointed to regulate the events running and enforce any penalty shot for misconduct of the rules.

On the night of the Pub Golf Event

Step 5: pair players up in twos and give them a scorecard and pen each. On the scorecard they will mark down their own score and the score of their partner for each hole, including any penalty strokes for misconduct.

Step 6: read out the Rules and Regulations of the game at the first hole, found on the scorecard, so that players are aware of how the game is played. Also inform players of where each hole’s to be played, places can be written on the Scorecard.

Step 7: Play Pub Golf!

After the Pub Golf Event

Step 8: once the 9 holes are completed players must add-up their own score and partner’s and then hand the Scorecard to the Official who’ll go through them all to find the winner/s. The winner is the player with the lowest score once all stroke penalties, if any, have been added.

Step 9: announce the winner/s of the Pub Golf Event – a winner for the guys and a winner for the girls!

Pub Golf Rules and Regulations

To drink your drinks in as few sips* as possible.

*A sip is continuously drinking until you either have to stop or the drink is finished.
