What
is the Richmond Co-Ed Golf Happy Hour?
The purpose of
Richmond's Co-Ed Golf Happy Hour
is to bring together golfers of all
abilities in a fun, social environment.
The after-work choice between a crowded, smoky
bar or the fresh country air of a golf course is
an easy one. Meet new friends, network
with professional contacts, connect with
nature, and enrich your social life while
playing (or learning) the greatest game in the world on
the best golf course in Richmond. This
league is perfect for friends, co-workers, couples and
"swinging singles" alike!
Each
Happy Hour begins with a free golf lesson leading to a Six-hole
Captain's
Choice tournament starting at 6 PM (6 at
6). Each 4 person team will
be randomly assigned and balanced out by golf
ability.
Our league is great for seasoned and
beginner golfers alike!
 Beginner Golfers
Every session begins with a 30 minute golf clinic and question/answer session where you can improve your swing and learn the rules of golf. In the no-pressure,
captain’s choice format, beginners can contribute on each hole at any time without worrying about the inevitable “bad shot.” Our league is about having fun which is actually the fastest way to improve your game.
For brand new golfers, we offer the option of
bypassing the tournament for more practice on
the golf range. You can meetup later at
the social.
Seasoned
Golfers
Be the hero of your team with your clutch, Tigeresque shot making. Work on your individual game in a stress-free, social environment.
As the great Sam Snead
used to say, “Forget your opponents (or
teammates); always play against par.”
We’re all equal players on the 19th hole. :)
Women Golfers
Women rule in Captain's Choice! With the strategic red pin placement, all of
a sudden you become one of the best drivers on your team
allowing for easier second shots. Your
teammates will love you!
Captain's
Choice Format
Also, called "scramble" or
"best ball." In Captain's Choice,
each player on a team hits off the tee, and the best
drive is selected for the second shot.
All four players play from the spot of
the "best ball." For the second shot, players may place their ball
within one club length of the spot no closer
to the hole. This process is repeated
for the third shot all the way to the final
putt. With this format, you are
essentially getting four different chances at
hitting the ball and "eliminating"
errant shots. Scores tend to be a lot
lower, and therefore, golfers tend to get delusions of
grandeur. :)
Shotgun
Start
A Shotgun Start is a tournament format in which all groups of players tee off
at the same time from different holes. Group 1 starts from hole 1, Group 2 from hole 2, etc. Each group starts play
simultaneously. A shotgun start will allow the
Happy Hour tournament to end at the same time it takes one foursome to finish
6 holes of golf.

Great
Golf Quotes
The biggest lies occur before the wedding, during the
political campaign, and after the golf match.
Count Bismarck, paraphrased
They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.
Gardner Dickinson
Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.
A. A. Milne
It is more satisfying to be a bad player at golf.
The worse you play, the better you remember the occasional good shot.
Nubar Gulbenkian
The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Billy Graham
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
Jack Lemmon
Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men.
Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
Tiger Woods
All I've got against it is that it takes you so far from the
clubhouse.
