⚓ Golf Society ⚓
"Fourteen clubs, one bottle of rum, and absolutely no remorse."
Welcome, landlubber. The Pirate Tour is no ordinary golf society — we sail by a different code. Founded on the sacred principle that a round of golf is best preceded by a measure (or three) of fine rum, our crew has terrorised golf courses across the land since the very first voyage.
We are called the Pirate Tour for one reason and one reason only: we enjoy drinking rum before lunchtime. No apologies. No regrets. Just good golf, great company, and the kind of swashbuckling spirit that makes scorecards weep.
Whether you're a scratch golfer or a high-handicapper who loses three balls per hole, all are welcome aboard this vessel — provided you never, ever turn down a tot of rum at the first tee.
Sets the sailing schedule, books the courses, and holds the rum key. Founding member. Drives with the reckless abandon of a man who owns the fairway.
Manages the kitty, pays the green fees, and is suspiciously accurate at calculating what everyone owes. Rightly feared at a matchplay.
Chief rum procurer and 19th hole strategist. Has never once arrived at the first tee sober, yet somehow manages a handicap of eight.
Official photographer, scorekeeper, and keeper of incriminating evidence. Responsible for the gallery. Rarely sinks a putt, never misses a shot on camera.
Scouts new courses and plots the tour schedule. Has a talent for finding the most remote golf clubs in the British Isles. No GPS required.
Self-appointed arbiter of the rules. Has never conceded a putt in his life. Revered and resented in equal measure. Handicap suspiciously never changes.
