MGoblog golf tournament?

Submitted by yostlovesme on

I was reading a post about a new golfer on here inquiring about what to do as a beginning golfer, and I thought why dont we host a golf tournament for everyone on this board.  There has to be a large amount of golfers on here, and wouldnt be that hard to get people to sign up.  We can try to raise money for something Michigan oriented.  Motts or whatever charity.  Thought it would be a good idea, or maybe there is already one that I don't know about.

I could talk to Charlie Green (director of golf/general manager) and try to set this up. I am not sure if Friday before the UCONN game is feasible, I'm not saying it is impossible but we used to have trouble qualifying on Friday's before home games because the course is always slammed. But if enough people commit to this, I can definitely talk to the right people to set it up.

I think this would be a great time .. someone close to the team should throw this idea to RR and have it as a real function .. if not it would also be cool just to get out and golf .. I've never golfed the UofM course so that would be sweet .

How about a MGoBlog Disc Golf Tournament?  A hippie sport seems more befitting of our hippie-looking MGoBlog leader.

But Firstbase, please sent your caddie anyways.  If she can chuck the plastic she might just be the hottest thing ever.

I dont know if we need to handcuff ourselves by making it on a weekend. I am sure most of the people who would attend anyway are students/alums/fans that live in the nearby area. Depending on the interest level, we could just block off some tee-times on a Thursday afternoon and then all head over to Dominicks or somewhere else afterwards.

I live in Detroit right now, but would absolutely come and play.

team did a golf tourny/outing a few years ago to raise money for the team so we could pay for our uniforms and tournys... it was a huge success... it was a 4 man best ball scramble, had to use each players drive once... we had a longest drive hole and closest to the pin... we charged $50(canadian) a person... that got you a round of golf and a buffet dinner afterwards along with door prizes...

form I've ever seen on a golf course.

Edit- I'm of course referring to the little lady above but  the Borat picture is nice too.
