From Uncle Sam flair to full-on star-spangled outfits, we want to see your creativity shine. And don’t stop there, deck out your golf carts with festive flair! Prize for Most Patriotic / Best Dressed Team! Prize for Best Decorated Cart! Grip it and rip it, Happy Gilmore style! Step up to this high-energy hole where traditional golf rules take a back seat and big swings steal the show. Channel your inner Happy and take a running start drive for your shot off the tee. Whether you crush it down the fairway or just have a blast trying, this hole is all about fun, laughs, and unforgettable moments. Bonus Points for Style! Bring the energy, the attitude, and maybe even your best Happy Gilmore impression. Prizes awarded for the longest drive or the most legendary attempt! It’s loud, it’s wild, and it’s guaranteed to be a crowd favorite. Are you ready to swing like Happy? Get ready for some extra excitement on the course—because Pin High is bringing the pros! Two long drive / entertainment golfers will be out on the course showing off their skills and giving your team a shot at something big! It’s your chance to let the pros give you a boost, have some fun, and maybe walk away with an epic win, all while supporting our local business community #lakesproud. Here’s how it works: On Dutch Red #8 and Dutch Blue #4 (both par 5s) , your team can make a quick donation (cash, Venmo, or Square) to have one of the pros step up and crush your tee shot. Sit back, enjoy the show, and then take your shot from where they land it! Even better? Every dollar raised goes right back into supporting local small businesses through the Brainerd Lakes Chamber’s Lakes Proud campaign. Hole-in-Two Challenge: Think you can finish what the pro started? If your team sinks it in two shots off the pro’s drive, you’ll win a Krank Driver! (Just be sure to capture a continuous video—from your swing to the celebration at the cup—to claim your prize!)
