Netherworld Pin-Golf Weekend - 9th & 10th of November

Mates mates mates.

Happy to announce tickets on sale for our Pin-Golf event. Hands down one of my favourite formats of the year.

--------------------------

Take a break in the Netherworld club house, pull up your socks and straighten your golf cap, it’s time to play ‘Pin Golf’.

On the weekend of the 9th and 10th of November, you’re invited to tour the Netherworld greens – 18 holes of brisk pinball challenges. At your own pace, you’ll try to achieve unique goals on each pinball machine with the aim to get ‘under par’. Each ball is an extra stroke, so achieving the goal on your first ball is a hole in 1.

Come down anytime on Saturday the 9th from 10am to 6pm to participate and qualify! The finals will be held on Sunday from 9am featuring the best dressed 16 players with the lowest stroke count.

Dress up in your golfing finest and you'll score yourself a free drink.

Bountiful prizes for the top 3 places including $300 for 1st place!

Each ticket comes with entry, your first drink, your scorecard, 18 Netherworld games tokens (1 per hole) and a new limited edition pin designed by Nelson Gibbins.

Pin Golf is an IFPA approved event. Tickets ($30 each) can be grabbed from netherworldpingolf19.eventbrite.com.au
