BIRDIES, BOGEYS, and BENEVOLENCE

Miniature golf . . . a family outing . . . a date activity . . . a friendly competition . . . for as long as it’s been around, it’s entertained the masses. In the spirit of the great Arnold Palmer, Birdies, Bogeys, and Benevolence combines three of golf’s greatest qualities for an experience sure to leave your participants feeling like PGA winners. Teams are provided with canned food items and limited supplies for construction and décor, and challenged to create an award-winning hole of miniature golf. The sky’s the limit when it comes to theme and design, with only self-imposed limitations standing in the way. Upon completion of the entire “course,” each team plays in a shotgun tournament, attempting to birdie its way to the winner’s circle. While the judges tally the scores, teams dismantle their holes and pack up the canned goods for donation to a local philanthropic organization, such as a homeless shelter, soup kitchen, or food bank. No matter who takes home the title, everyone will take home a sense of benevolence from this rousing philanthropic experience.
