Strange English Traditions - Pub Golf

I got drunk yesterday after the Euro finals, but luckily I was able to not take part in an event called pub golf - that would really have killed me...

Here's the rules. You play golf over a course of 9 holes (=pubs). The advanced of you might try 18 holes as well, but most probably you are either not going to have enough pubs in your village or you are going to end up in the hospital before.

There are three different types of holes:
  • Pint of ale - par 4
  • Bottle of beer - par 2
  • Shot - par 1

Over the evening you have to drink three of each and the par number tells you how many sips you may at most use for finishing. Winner is, whoever stays below par or who can still stand straight at the end of the day.

Kids: Don't try this at home.

Sounds funny. What size is the bottle of beer - should be smaller than a pint!?

Pub golf is fun! We even created a small iphone app to keep track of the scores, pub location and rules! www.pubgolfapp.com
