Mosey down to the wooded foot bridge, behind the pickle ball courts and along the forest until we reached the last volleyball court.

The Thang:

In spirit of the US Open, today’s workout was going to be a friendly best ball tournament – Gridiron Style!

The Pax was divided into two teams by randomly selecting a color coded golfball from the 5 gallon HD bucket.  Team blue balls had the advantage with 5 PAX going into the round.

The Rules:

• Each player launches their ball toward the 5 gallon bucket off the tee for each hole.

• The team closest to the pin wins the hole.

• Everyone has to complete the predetermined exercise of the hole, but the number of reps is determined by which team won the hole.  

• Exercises are single count and OYO.

• The player closest to the pin choses the placement of the bucket for the next hole.

• Bucket cannot be closer than 50 feet from the tee – the more creative the better!

• There are no mulligans (unless you hit something and your ball bounces back to the tee – which actually happened).

• If your team gets a “hole in one”, the losers have to complete all of their reps as well as those of the winning team.

Overall the round was a lot of fun with a lot of creative participation by all of the PAX.  The blue balls dominated 13-5.  Dr. Tryhard landed one in the bucket on the 17th (but bounced out) and bounced one off the rim on the 18th.  Offshore won closest the pin more times than any other player with 6.  ByProduct lost his ball on the very first tee!
