A great version of the pub crawl.

9 Holes standard, 18 Holes for the hard core, any other number for those who
cannot find 9 or 18 holes (ie pubs) within suitable walking distance of each
other.

Each player receives a score card as used in the standard (grass and clubs)
version of golf. At each watering hole each player gets a pint (or other
pre-agreed amount), and has to down it in as few goes as possible. The number
of goes required is recorded on the score card, and the players move on to the
next hole (pub).

Obviously the winner is the person with the lowest total score after all the
holes have been visited.

Suggested Variations

Players not known for their drinking abilities may be given a handicap. This
may be a smaller measure or a `free shot' ie don't count the first gulp.

Introduce a par system (eg par two on the first few holes, increasing with the
number of holes played). Anybody over par at particular hole must pay a forfeit
eg down a shot, or buy the next round.

Penalty shots:
1. The water hazard. Any spilt drinks incur a one shot penalty.
2. Bunker shot. Any trips to the bog incur a 1 shot penalty
3. In the rough. Any puking incurs a 1+ shot penalty
4. etc.

Make it as simple or as complex as you like, you'll probably fuck up on the
scoring anyway and that's it basically. If you've included this already (I
couldn't find it), then no worries, if not then why not - it's a classic.

Also, the famous Otley run is worth a go if you ever visit Leeds. This is a
simple pub crawl, with up to 16 pubs for the hard core. A pint in each is
obligatory, this is Yorkshire after all.
