THE BEST WAY TO PLAY GOLF...IS RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DORM: The first tournament of the almostGolfCollege Campus Golf Tour went off with a bang. It was truly an urbangolf success. We had over 100 playerscompete on the 12 hole course through McCarthy Quad on the campus of the University of Southern California. The highlight of the golf tournament was the battle between the almostGolf factory team of Gareth Estwickand almost-Tiger Woodsvs the USC Golf Club . The match was all square until the 8th hole when USC took the lead. Then, on the 11th hole almost-Tiger Woods sank a birdiechip to draw the match to even and bring the competition to the final bonus 'water hole'. With all the chips on the table almost-Tiger came through by nailing the water target on the first shot and putting the competition away...Of course a spectator had to go swimming to celebrate the victory.
GOLF COURSE DESIGN: In terms of our urbangolf-streetgolf-crossgolf course design, the water fountain hole took the prize followed by our hole #2 which was a killer par 4 over the bike racks, over the clubhouse tents and then over water.
TOURNAMENT SCORES: Even though the par was 22 for the course, many teams came out and blew that count away thanks to special bonuses along the course. Below is the list of golfers who turned in legible scorecards. See where you stacked up:
