PARS & STRIPES
This isn’t your grandfather’s golf game! So put away your plaid pants and roll up your sleeves for Pars & Stripes . . . a team building event that is sure to excite everyone from the PGA-pros to those frequently yelling “fore.”
After teams are formed, and the “game frame of mind” is established through a fun ice-breaking activity, the competition begins. Armed with green indoor/outdoor carpeting, canned food goods, construction paper, and a few tools, team members work together to design and build their own hole of miniature golf. Whether it's putting a ball through the White House, or bumping around Mount Rushmore, each hole has its own flare, with a unique American theme. Inspiration, imagination, and ingenuity all permeate the course, as participants work collaboratively, all for a worthy cause.
No golf event is complete without a tournament of play. While one team member remains at the hole, acting as marshal and scorekeeper, the rest of the participants traverse from hole to hole, attempting to out-birdie the competition.
At the conclusion of the tournament, scores are tallied as participants deconstruct their holes, and box the canned goods. Following a presentation to the charitable recipient, a “pantry parade” ensues, where participants load the canned goods into the charity’s vehicle, instilling a sense of personal pride and goodwill.
For those wishing to add a bit of “high tech” to the activity, our unique iPad component may be added. Using BridgeTheApp™, our propriety app, each team is tasked with completing golf-themed trivia, photo, and video challenges, in order to earn the canned goods needed to properly build a challenging hole. As with all BridgeTheApp™-powered events, shortly after its conclusion, your inbox will contain a link to a web page where all of the photos and videos, captured by your participants, will be available for viewing and download.
To ensure an outstanding experience, aspects of this event may be modified to maximize the benefits for your group size, makeup, available time, and other variables.
