Knighton Matt Posted 15 July 2006 Posted 15 July 2006 I will be playing this bizarre 'sport' tonight in honour of a friend's birthday down London Road and into town. So if you see someone lurking with intent dressed rather inappropriately please don't call the police! Seriously has anyone ever done this before? Is it likely to become an olympic sport soon?

What is 'pub golf'?
Rincewind Posted 15 July 2006 Posted 15 July 2006 Is it the same as a pub crawl? Thank goodness I'm working and wont be in any of my locals. I shall be in the Old horse on Sunday. Only for a civilised meeting with my brother to discuss poker and the playing of it. Theres a good choice of drinking establishments along London Road. I use the Hind a lot. Nearest and the pizzas next door are OK.
Knighton Matt Posted 16 July 2006 Author Posted 16 July 2006 What is 'pub golf'? Pub golf is a drinking game. It involves a number of pubs and/or bars – ideally eighteen, although this becomes an incredibly difficult course – comprising the 'course', with each being assigned a 'par' as a hole on a golf course is. In pub golf, the par for each pub is drinking a certain drink in a particular way. For example, one pub might be assigned as a par one with a straight double vodka and another might be a par four with a pint of cider. In the first case a par 'score' would be recorded by drinking the double vodka in one swallow. In the second case, the pint of cider would have to drunk in four swallows. Under and over par would be drinking the assigned drink in less or more swallows than the par of the bar allows respectively. It is often the case when playing the game that there are designated places for using the toilet and that if a participant uses the toilet outside of those places they are penalised. This can be particularly hard when a course is set up using many pints of beer or cider or glasses of wine. From Wikipedia
macbeth Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 did you get any birdies? or did you get bunkered first
cisono Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 From Wikipedia Ah, yet another excuse to get more drinking done
Alexikokopops Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 Phfft, playing it with Pars is for gays. Hole in one in every pub is the way to do it. Guinness in one is like eating a loaf of bread in seconds, error.

Which pubs did you do? FOXESTALK could start our own Open!
Knighton Matt Posted 16 July 2006 Author Posted 16 July 2006 Which pubs did you do? FOXESTALK could start our own Open! Went down London Road...The Loaded Dog, Marquis, Landsdowne, Time etc then into town down Granby Street and Belvoir Street and then back up New Walk. I don't think I'd be able to cope against all these students in a Foxestalk Open!
Ultra Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 Sounds like quite a crawl. I'm sure that we old-timers could more than hold our own, if we were able to prepare for it..
