Pub Golf, and how to survive it!

MissBint37

I am playing pub golf on Saturday.

Thankfully it is only 9 holes not 18.

Need survival tactics as I have a job interview the next afternoon....help!

eat a block of butter or a large meal - so you don't get drunk as quick

don't order pint

have a bottle of Iru Bru at home or Fanta for the hungover.


and have fun.

There are a couple of pint but it doesn't say pint of what, so we are thinking we could order a stealth shandy!

A block of butter, never heard of that before, but that sounds a bit grim!

Couple of pints of water just before bed will help you feel better the next day.

grease lines your stomach delaying alcahol absorbtion to the blood stream therfore the idea is you don't get drunk as fast.

Best trick is use your noggin don't get blasted when you have an interveiw the following day.

Women should be allowed halves - Ladies tee and all that.

Bunker shots should be avoided - to get one shot the last time I did it you had to tip the shot in the pint (bitter is better as it's flatter) - but that was with a load of rugger beer boy drinkers who liked to get naked at any opportunity for some unkown reason.

Yes - 3 pints of water before bed.

sorry but whats pub golf?

Go round 9/18 pubs - one pint per pub and how many 'sips' you have equals your scores for that hole/pub. Lowests wins...

i see, sounds dangerous :shock:

Fresh orange juice works better.

Eat lots and lots of food in the morning until you physically feel the energy flowing through you, no seriously... then go for a walk snd get plenty of fresh air!

and get some snaeky water in inbetween drinks, keep hydrated in the proper hydrated way, or lucozade, and snack whilst you are drinking, scratchings mini cheddars etc etc

A bizzarre tip I find is have a warm up few drinks before hand, earlier in the day, get a bit fuzzy and then stop and sober up and take in fluids and food, I find that if I do that, my capacity for drinking later on in the day is a lot better than it is going in cold. I find a 3/4 hour break does the trick, and has the added benefit of being more booze

I may be missing something here with my evil non-drinking ways, but for what reason is it necessary to go out and get hammered? Especially when you know that there's something important to do? Even if it's for some special event (a birthday or something), can you not just opt not to participate in the pub golf and exercise restraint instead?

no. although tbf my alcohol consumption has hit an alltime low since BRL, and not going uni this year and being to tight to go any friends freshers parties is probably the reasob for this.

I don't drink much on a night out anymore, I value the money in my wallet, the capacity to converse throughout the night, look after the people I'm out with and er...

Not loose my smoking pipe whilst I'm out

Pizza is actually best on a night out cos you can have the left over slices for breakfast too.

re-arrange the interview - its not going to go well. Last time I did pub golf was a stag do - with some horrific drink choices a lot of par 3's and it didn't go well!

MissBint37

Last time I did it was in Zermatt and I had nothing to get up for...well except for riding. I survived un hungover!!! This time it will be sods law I get a hangover. The interview isn't til 6pm though thankfully!!!

It actually is not that bad, its not 9 pints there is a choice of drink in most places so you can avoid the mixes of death that make you hurl.

Where it is pints I am going to try and stealth order a shandy....and at spirit and mixer time I may only take the mixer pretending it has something stronger in it....who knows may even go for a hole in one on those holes hehe.

I plan to keep my glass covered so I don't get any bunker balls. But you know how that works anyway, one person will get them all, whoever we decide to pick on, and trust me, that won't be me!!!

Ooh no, that is far too sensible. This is Missbint.

Stealth shandy, not advisable, if you get caught the consequences may be harsh!
