Come out and make radio contacts with a golf-inspired game. Over the course of two hours, each team will set up a portable station and make contact with no more than 18 people. These 18 contacts represent your 18 holes on the golf course. Every contact is given a stroke value based on where they are calling you from. Teams are given a handicap score based on various participation criteria. For example, you may raise your handicap by dressing your team in full golf regalia or operating QRP only. The team with the lowest score takes home the prize.
