Charity Forfeits

[saxonal]

I am looking for an interesting and unusual on course charity forfeit for a Captains year, anyone remember, or have, any good ideas?

Some patient soul stood on the 6th tee checking everyone's balls, anyone with an odd number pays a forfeit.

(You can read that how you like matron )

Saunton does something interesting on a charity day at the par 3 17th. Pay £5, stay on the green, get £10 back. In an event this year, it netted nearly £500. But needs to be a tough hole!

Voluntary gambles are good.
Not entirely sure why, but I always find a "Captain's Charity Bunker" really irritating.

How about a birdie book

Any time you make a birdie you pay a £1 and put in the book

Each month a draw is made - the charity gets a % and the person who is drawn out gets a %

The more birdies you get the more chances tou have

On charity days we do something similar on our 1st. You stake what you like/can afford. At my HI (17.5) I get 6/1 odds. Higher handicaps get slightly better odds, low handicaps get slightly worse - but can't remember what. If ball stays on the green, you get a payout. Most payouts I can recall was 5 (out of about 80 or so players). Usually raises a few hundred quid for the Captains Charity. But as IanM says - it needs to be a tough hole.

I played a charity day years ago where on one hole you had to donate £5 to roll a dice.

Throw a 6 you could use your driver (or a club of your choice) to tee off
Throw a 5 you could use a fairway wood to tee off
Throw a 3 or 4 you had to use a 6 iron to tee off
Throw a 1 or 2 you had to use an 8 iron to tee off

With the option to roll again for another £5 donation

Choose not to donate you had to tee off with your most lofted wedge

Made things interesting.

Probably works best on a long par 4.

Not so much a forfeit but we held a charity day where you could buy red tees, or the ladies could move a certain distance up the fairway. Needless to say the both the mens and ladies comps were won by people who bought all 18.

I’ve played a senior open at Cottesmore 5times, they had the same, tough par 3 to hold the green and I never got on.
