Bar Golf!

My medical school friends decided to blow off some steam with a night of... Bar Golf!
The craziness of the twenties can be intoxicating (quite literally).
We're only young once, right?

So here is how the game went.

"Prepare your sweater vests and argyle socks. This Friday, we're going golfing! Well...of sorts.

Starting at 9pm, we are making our way through 9 holes of Bar Golf along McKinney Ave. If you're unfamiliar with this particular sporting event, the rules are pretty simple: we walk from bar to bar, and you are rewarded points for the drinks you conquer. Keep track of your points, and the winner with the lowest score has bragging rights for the rest of the season.
---
We will walk the following 9 holes:
Uptown Bar & Grill
Idle Rich Pub
Blackfriar Pub
Gingerman
McKinney Ave Tavern
Rok Republic
Quarter Bar
The Loon
Lemon Bar

Scoring is as follows:
Water = +1
Wine/beer = par
Mixed drinks = -1
Shots = -2

Some places have special scoring rules. At Gingerman, we're playing sips of beer as your strokes. 5 sips is par... above and below that, you get the picture. And at The Loon, because they're known for their atomically strong drinks, a Red Bull & vodka is = -3.

So, in summary, come out in your golfer's best (crazy golf attire is a MUST), and play a sport where hopefully no one gets injured."




It was a pretty fun night. Good friends, a little bit of that competitive flair. 
I won't reveal who won and with how many points below par, haha
We all need a break sometimes from our books and study carrels. : )
