Flip Cup

So there are gonna be 10 Dutch Dome Open Golf Towels to be won at the DDO After party at Gorman's house. One way to win them will be with the "DDO Foursome Flip Cup Tournament." We have 12 foursomes (technically 11 with 1 threesome but someone on that team will double up) so we will have a bracket for the tournament. The foursome's best ball score will determine the seedings for the tournament. The #1 seed goes to the top overall score for the outing and the #12 seed will go to the worst score in the outing. The top 4 teams will have a bye in the 1st round and its single elimination. Each round will be best of 5 games series, so the 1st team to win 3 games will advance. The champions will each win a DDO Golf Towel.

11 DAYS BITCHES!!!

Lido Means Business

"We look forward to having your group return, I appreciate you speaking to everybody regarding conduct and alcohol prior to arrival, I will speak to the group on the day of also as a reminder."

This guy means business this year, haha, so all we gotta do is just be a little discrete with all the beers in our bags while they set up the carts for us. In the beginning, I'll have everyone put beers in their bags and then after the 9th hole I'm gonna keep my truck open so people can grab more. I'm looking to get somewhere around 500 beers so we shouldn't have a problem whatsoever with the beers. I already worked out a plan with regards to the funnel and arranged the closest to the pin to be on the back 9 and on the 15th hole.

16 days bitches!!

DDO Outfits

I mean who's gonna man up and wear an outfit at the Dutch Dome Open like John Daly does every time he steps on the golf course?

Dress Code

Here's the DDO's After-Party dress code:

It helps when your a celebrity

So Jared Allen had his own golf outing this past weekend and it sounds like it was awesome.

"But with Allen in charge of this thing, no way it was going to be a solemn affair. Long known as one of the game's free spirits, Allen took his own unique view on life and applied it to what he hoped wouldn't be "another (lame) golf tournament." Things started out on the right note, when American Gladiator Hollywood Yates sang the National Anthem. Then, the participants had to endure harassment from Marines on every hole — distracting them on their backswings, and frequently demanding push-ups for sub-par results.

Some duffers received different consequences — UFC star Chuck "Iceman" Liddell had to blast through a Slip-and-Slide after failing to reach the green in regulation on the 14th hole. And the shotgun start at 3:30 p.m. insured that there would be nine holes of night golf. There was also a Hole-in-One contest ... at 10:30 p.m. A great time was had by all, and it was an excellent example of Allen's own attitude towards life as personified by the mullet he doesn't wear anymore — he's still "business in front, and party (with two 'Rs') in the back," and he still gets extra mayonnaise every time.

Yates may have summed the tournament up best on his Twitter feed:"

Somebody Broke some ones Nose! Greatest Golf Tournament ever!less than a minute ago via txtHollywood Yates

First, I want to make a reference to the 1st Hofstra Lacrosse outing at Lido Golf Course, the Miller family broke out into a fist fight. Dean got his ass kicked and as he was putting Ryan and Patrick would be punching him. He had a bloody nose coming into the reception after, it was the greatest thing I've ever seen at a golf outing. Granted last year had a lot of better moments, but I don't remember them. I would love to do shit like this but I'm not a celebrity. Maybe if our "professional athlete" friends would take a little out of their million dollar salaries we could do it. ME guys, that's what they are. Anyway, after reading this I still think our outing is gonna be better. Funnels at the Closest to the Pin and boozing all day will easily lead to a shitshow and awesome camera moments. I'll be bringing my camera again this year but I'll be taking a lot of pictures because last year that was the only way I was able to get "flashes" of the outing was through my camera.

New Shit!!

Okay, so I thought of some more ideas for prizes and this will be the last of them.

Each member of the winning foursome will each get a Nike Dri-Fit White Golf Polo that have "2010 Dutch Dome Open Champions" on them. As for a chance for others to win prizes I got a dozen (12 for all you scholars out there) Dutch Dome Golf Towels. I'm thinking I'm gonna have a bunch of contests to win these towels. Lido has a chipping green and a putting green to practice on so those will be our contest areas. I'm gonna pick a spot where you gotta either putt or chip from and the person who is closest to the hole wins a towel, plain and simple. Each person will do this before they tee off. For the other 10 towels, we're gonna have a foursome flip cup tournament, a beer pong tournament, and any other drinking game we can think of at the moment to win towels.

So that's it for the prizes for the 2nd Annual Dutch Dome Open. So even if you totally suck at golf, you can still win a prize so don't you worry. Obviously, the winning foursome gets the most prizes (Dutch Dome Cup, Custom Nike Golf Balls, Winning Shirts) b/c well that is the biggest achievement for the outing. The longest drive and closest to the pin prizes (2010 TaylorMade Golf bag in Hofstra colors) are ridiculous and that's what most people will be gunning for I know it. I added the towels so everyone has a bunch of chances at winning something at the DDO. Get your practice rounds in boys!! 18 days!

Dutch Dome Cup

Here she is boys! I'm telling you she's looking great in my apartment, where she'll be August 1st!

Side Note: This thing isn't as strong as I thought it would be for the money I paid for it. I'm gonna say that this thing stands no chance once we're all drunk drinking out of it at the after party. I will be very surprised if it lasts.

We're definitely getting kicked off the course

So as I am talking to my teammate today, Patrick Miller, he brings to my attention one of the single most greatest ideas for the Dutch Dome Open. The closest pin is most likely on the 5th hole. It depends on where they tell me it is. Wherever Lido has the closest to the pin for us, these are the new rules. Each player MUST funnel a beer before you shoot. It doesn't have to be directly after you funnel but you must funnel a beer before you shoot your tee shot for the Closest To the Pin. I will need proof so, for now, the way I will know that everyone is funneling a beer will be by picture messages. Each foursome will have to send me pictures of each player funneling the beer for proof. If I don't get one of you, then you are out for the closest to the pin contest.

And you may ask, Tim are you going to have a Dutch Dome Open funnel? And my answer would be FUCK YEAH I'M GONNA HAVE A DUTCH DOME OPEN FUNNEL!! I'm working on it as I'm typing this that's how good at multitasking I am. I mean this is the greatest idea that I've heard this year by far. What a great teammate. So somehow we gotta sneak a funnel onto the course with Gorman's group b/c he's the 1st group. And from there on out, each foursome leaves the funnel at the tee box, not in plain sight so Lido doesn't see it. Each foursome from there on out has to funnel a beer and the last group will bring it back so we can use it at the after party as well. Wow, I didn't think it could happen but the DDO just stepped it up ONCE AGAIN this year!
