Greater Champaign County AMBUCS

Barstool Golf

 

Nine bars in the Champaign area build a miniature golf hole and place it in their bars.  Golfers, on four person teams, go from bar to bar accumulating a score on each hole they play. The bars have specials for the day, like $1 beers, and some bars have free snacks. Transportation to each bar is provided.

 

​

Registration is $100 per four-person team. Each team signs up for a starting bar and play begins at 11am. Players have until 5pm to play the holes at all the bars and turn in their scorecards.  In order to get everyone through the nine bars in the time allowed, we've had to limit the number of teams we can take.

​

AMBUCS members, friends, and family, provide the volunteers and each bar needs 4-5 volunteers to move the players through the holes. The event has been going on for a number of years and now has many teams that play every year. Some players are from out of town and schedule their visits to Champaign on the weekend of the event just so they can play.  Also many teams dress up or have special t-shirts printed for the occasion.  

​

AMBUCS volunteers love to get together after the event to swap stories of the silly things that happened during the day, like the young woman who hit the golf ball a little too hard, had it bounce off the hole and land in another player's boot!

It's a fun Saturday and great way to support your local AMBUCS chapter!
