No Golf Shoes, No Golf Shirts, No Golf Trousers…
I’ve just caught up with a tournament which sounds like the antithesesis of the traditional golf club and it’s rules. According to the TampaBay.com (which seems to be the original source of this story) the eighth annual “Redneck Golf Tournament” will be held on April 20.
“It can be crazy,” said organizer Tammy Williams, “It’s a wild atmosphere and something like you’ve never seen before or will again anywhere else.” But it is not to be confused with another type “redneck golf” (also called “ladder golf”) where two golf balls are attached with string and thrown at a ladder – like a mediaeval tournament game!
At this tournament there are strict rules - no collared shirts, no golf shoes, jeans are welcome and golfers can only use three clubs. A lot of golfers wear flip flops or cowboy boots and many are in shorts. Williams also says there’s plenty of Budweiser.
It’s a charity event on behlf of a local residential facility for the handicapped. There will be six-golfer teams: cost $99.50each. Want to know more - contact Williams at (727) 243-8293
