Night Chipping has been an on-again/off-again event on the FGO…mainly predicated by how close our accommodations were to a course…or better yet, a green!
In 2007 with our collective condo’s on the doorstep of “The Premier’s” #6 green, Night Chipping really hit its stride. Planning for all future events now take into consideration access to night chipping.
The rules are simple. 1. It needs to be dark. 2. You need copious amounts of beer. 3. Closest to the hole wins. 4. Winner picks where the next chip will be hit from. 5. Repeat until 1. You run out of beer. 2. You are too drunk to stand.
Side betting is heavily encouraged. Jaeger has been known to make an apperance.

Can’t recall who uttered it, so I’ve opted to post my favorite Night Chipping quote here: “oooh, that sounded close.”
