Final Tournament XVIII

8th hole and lost ball to the left

The first Friday in October is the day for the legendary Final Tournament golf challenge for gentlemen. In the last years a few brave ladies have been taking part in the game. Nappi, a friend of mine, has been organizing this event new for 18 years and this my 7th year fighting for the glory.

One of the greatest ideas in this day is that it always starts at the Paavo Nurmi Statue in Helsinki at 09:00. Nobody knows where the game takes place. So the guessing starts as the bus starts to move. Also the first beer can is opened at the same time. :) The game format is Texas scramble and for the past years, I have been playing with Miikka. We are quite on the same level and it is fun to play with him.

This year the tournament took place at Tali. And due to the short drive to the course we were able to play (or start) the game quite sober. The alcohol level rise during the day and at the end of the day, we were wasted as fuck.  We played actually the best game with 75 shots brutto and with that we landed on 17th place as the score was counted in points. We had 38 points and the winners has 44 scoring 10 under par.

The main sponsor of the event is Hot Lips, so the prize table is filled with dildos and other stuff to please your lady. This year we went home without any price. Next year again....

I lost only one ball, a totally missed drive on the 8th hole. Left to the woods it went. We started the game on the 12th hole, so a that point I was already completely drunk.



Number of lost balls: 1

Number of connected golf trolleys around Nappi's bag: 6
