Q: What is Bar Golf?
A: Bar Golf is a tradition begun 8 years ago by a few friends with tacky golf clothes, and free time to spend on a Saturday in the Virginia Highlands. It evolved into a themed pub crawl, supported by golfers and Highland bar managers alike. Bar Golf is comprised of nine different "holes" or bars the tournament visits. Each location has a line up of specialty drinks designed to test each golfer's desire to score well on the given hole. Each drink's degree of difficulty determines his or her score on the hole (Eagle, Birdie, Par, or Bogey). Of course, what golf tournament wouldn't provide the ability for each golfer to redeem/penalize themselves through various "Scoring Adjustments" (The Golddigger, The Yearbook, Breaking the Seal, etc).

In addition, Atlanta Bar Golf commemorative T-shirts are available with a scorecard print on the back. The T-shirt can double as your official scorecard.
