While it seems everyone should making every putt, they may struggle more than ever. Vetterick will be doing some other fun things around the course that are done only during this tournament.

Players will find unusual obstacles in the strangest of places. For instance, there could be a hula-hoop around a hole.

“It's really a lot of fun,” Vetterick said. “You should come out and try it. You'll want to do it again afterward.”

There will be shotgun start at 9 a.m.

For those who want to assure victory, there will be mulligans for sale. There will be pin prizes on many holes.

There will be on course games to add to the fun. The First 18 teams signed up get in. The entry fee will be $40 person or $160 per team.
