Boosters - Use Once per Round

  • Oestrogen Booster

    Tee off from the Ladies

  • Testoserone Booster

    Move your ball one Dicklength (max 12”) for no shot

  • Adrenaline Booster

    Throw you ball instead of using a club. You still incur the shot

  • Unity Booster

    Play a hole Ambrose with your partner. Use the Gross score & your handicap counts*
    At least one shot from each player must be used.

  • Redirect Booster*

    *Only applicable if two cups have been cut at the course

    Play the hole into the Reserve cup on the green instead of the Pin’s hole

  • Needle Ball

    Similar to the Trumpball. The Needleball may be used to call “I bet you can’t do that again” after a shot of his competitors, throwing the Needleball at their feet & compelling them to retake their shot.

  • Trump Ball

    A player may call “Fake News” after any shot, replaying it from the same spot with the Trumpball. He will then finish the hole with no consequence or penalty.

    If you are more partial to your original shot you may ignore your claim of “Fake News” , discard the Trumpball & act like it never happened.*

  • Joker Ball**

    **Only players who win a Joker on Day One
    Play 2 balls on any given hole & take the lowest score.
    - you may start playing the ball at any time during a hole
    - the Joker Ball also acts as a Blueball, so use the ball wisely. Failure to return the ball to the committee will result in hitchhiking home.
