Club Putting Competitions

[RonK]

Does anyone have any experience in Putting Competitions held by your golf club.  The intention is to create some interest near the bar area where a putting green is located on a Friday evening. 

What have been some great formats to have or any other experiences with these events.

This can be great fun. Here is how we did it. Teams of four. Number off each person 1, 2, 3, 4. Then you go find each of the other people with your number and play a match against them. We did it on a huge putting green and they were 18 hole matches with hole numbers marked off. Play to a finish so playoff if tied. Count up how many points each team has and you have a winner. 
The finding others with your number is a good way to get people talking to each other. There’s dead time to go get a drink and stuff. Much easier to go up to a group of people you don’t know and say “any 2s here?” than it is to just meet people. Automatic icebreaker. You do need quite a few people though to really make it worthwhile.
