19th Hole
Praise Dionysus, Beer Pong Golf has arrived!
We’ve seen beer pong-inspired golf games. We’ve seen cornhole golf games enter the backyard activity pantheon.
However, we’ve yet to see a beer pong golf game in which you can actually drink the substance in question.
So, we say, cheers to the holy of holies that is Beer Pong Golf. Chip it! Drink it!
The equipment: Two 48’’ x 23’’ boards. 10 slots. Green plastic mats. Hollow golf balls. Players place the mats 12 feet from the board and chip. So so many great things, the concept is simple.
Then, as international beer pong law mandates, when a player from the opposing team/your opponent pitches the ball into your cup, you drink (as illustrated below). Much fun and drunkenness ensues! Yas, bros!
If this sounds like fun to you, consider ponying up some of your drinking money for Kickstarter-funded BPG, which is taking preorders now.

With temperatures floating above 100 degrees this week in Tyler, Texas, home of the Texas State Open, Tony Romo certainly came prepared.

That’s right, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback showed up with an air-conditioned golf cart with sliding doors.
Unfortunately, it may not have given him the leg up that he was hoping for, as Romo opened with a one-over-par 71, good for 86th place after round one.
At least he outlasted the other former NFL standout in the field, as Johnny Manziel’s first round 79 was certainly not as impressive. With a projected cut of one-under par, Romo certainly stands a decent chance to ride into the weekend in cooler temperatures.

Earlier this year, Johnny Manziel made clear on his ambitions to play golf at the professional level. His first official competition, the Texas State Open, marked a fun opportunity for the former Heisman winning quarterback.
The tournament is being held in Manziel’s hometown of Tyler, Texas at the Cascades Club, a course that he has played countless times. With that being said, things got off to a rather inauspicious start for the former Cleveland Browns quarterback.
Well not off to the greatest of starts….Rumors Johnny didn’t know he had to wear pants, so he arrived at the first hole without hitting a single range ball. ? pic.twitter.com/TYX9TLkbEY

That’s right, Manziel was apparently unaware that he was supposed to wear pants, and he was forced to sacrifice any warm-up time to find some.
Beginning his round on the back nine, the former first round NFL draft pick somehow managed a two-over par 37. Unfortunately, the wheels came off on his second nine with a 42 that included three double bogeys. Manziel then backed up the opening round with a 75 and sits 5 shots adrift of second last plce.
Manziel remained optimistic, however, telling Tyler Morning Telegraph:
“It was great being on the home track. I had it going for awhile and just struggled on the front nine and just didn’t play the way I wanted to. It’s a good first experience for me and had to start somewhere, and this is a great place to do it back home.”
While the on-course product was less than stellar, it’s hard to knock the former football star’s attitude.

The clownish stupidity surrounding golf is pathetic and reflects on the type of desperate people who are seeking fun rather than practicing to perform on the golf course. Immature minds and clowns litter the golf courses of the nation.

Isn’t that rather harsh indictment of the 25 million golfers that trudge and drive on the golf courses of the nation? So what that 95% of them can’t break 100 without cheating, the guys who play these golf skill games are usually the cream of the crop… of clowns.
