Bobby Burns Memorial Golf Classic

This year We meet up at Old Weathered Soul. If you actually care about the course we have a fancy Web 2.0e map for your perusal. From there we set off on a whirlwind tour of midtown establishments that have refined the art of pouring alcoholic beverages into glass vessels worthy of touching the lips of thirsty golfers.

We stick out like one of Bobby's wonderful shirts on an overcast day in front of grey buildings. We swing golf clubs at any number of small, roundish objects, with a passion few could possibly understand. People will be stunned, cops may be called, balls likely will be lost, and at least once, there will be a close call with a big ball, a crepe, and a bald man. These things will happen. We will not relocate to a park, as there is no beer there and We can't play Urban Golf in a park! We are determined to play our 9 hole course through.

As always the rules are:

1. Do not use a real club. It tends to freak out the normals, and cops can be called.

2. Use a soft squishy ball, stuffed animal, hacky sac (you hippies..), or small furry woodland creature. The point is to not do any damage when you hit some guy's car.Tennis balls seem like a good idea, but you will be chasing your balls more than drinking in bars, so choose your 'ball' carefully.

3. WHEN the cops are called, be polite. They aren't paid enough to put up with our crap. Chances are, they will tell us to be careful and that they will have to shut us down if they get any more complaints, blah, blah.... smile, say yes sir, thank you, we'll be more careful,....etc. take another drink and yell fore!

4. There is no rule four, It helps to avoid confusion with the rule of fore.

5. Wear loud clothing and think fondly of Bobby.

6. Stay the fuck out of traffic. That is the one thing the cops WILL come out for quickly.

7. Tip the bartenders.

8. generic rule that will be made up while we go..
