So said existentialist Søren Kierkegaard. It’s time for the annual Fear and Trembling Charity Pingolf Tournament, the only pingolf tournament that includes the terror of choice.
Our annual spooky-season pingolf tournament will take place this year on October 18. The course may be started anytime after 4 pm, and the last entries will be permitted at 7. The early start time is to ensure the tournament can finish at a semi-reasonable time. The fee for the first entry is $10, and subsequent cards can be bought for an additional $5 provided they are started by 7 pm. All proceeds minus IFPA fees go to the Capital Area Humane Society. In addition to trophies for the top four finishers, there will also be random prize drawings.
This will be a nine-hole, objective-based course. Competitors will choose one of two objectives on each game and have to stick with the one they chose. Players get a stroke for each ball it takes to reach the objective, up to four strokes for not completing the objective at all in three balls. The lowest four scores on the course will move on to a three-game final match (with non-pingolf 4/2/1/0 scoring).
Please come and, as Kierkegaard said, make your choices “in fear and trembling.”
