Pin-Golf Tee-Off!

🎉 Our first round of pin-golf was a smashing success! ⛳

Hold on to your plaid golf hats, this write up is a bit longer than usual!

Thank you to all who attended our first tee-off. It was a much more self-paced qualifying as players progressed through holes (aka machines) to reach target scores in as few strokes (aka balls) as possible.

The top 5 players from the golf course continued to a best-of-3 head-to-head finals. ACE, for having the lowest number of strokes 🏌, received a bye straight to the semi-final whilst the other 4 competitors battled it out.

🏆 Congratulations to the final winners for the night:

1. First Place: Joshua Hesketh – TAPP Pin-Golf Trophy.
2. Second Place: Adrian (ACE) Evans – Super Mario Puzzle.
3. Third place: Wes Keys – Gourmet doughnut selection.
4. Fourth place: Simon Voigt – Gourmet doughnut selection.

But the fun didn’t stop there. We also also held a consolation stall-ball game for those eliminated from the finals (thank you Frank for your help running it!). 🎉 Special congratulations to Lily McShane for being the last player standing and taking home a pair of Stern Sweat Pants courtesy of the Stern Army.

Josh, ACE, and Wes all managed to achieve a hole-in-one on separate machines (Black Knight, Batman 66, and The Munsters respectively) awarding them a drink from the bar and a model car also courtesy of Stern Army from their 2014 game, Mustang.

A huge shout out to Stern Army for sponsoring the event, and supplying us with a Munster Translite to give out as a door prize. Congratulations to Kev for scoring this display piece.

Lastly, a special call-out to Simon for scoring exactly par on our course ⛳

We hope to see you all at the next event!
