Golf enthusiasts and movie buffs alike, mark your calendars for a unique blend of sports and cinema at Foster Golf Links on July 25th. The venue is set to host a screening of the all-time movie classic "Happy Gilmore" on an outdoor big screen, but not before engaging the community with a quirky twist on the game.
The “ANYTHING BUT A DRIVER" competition invites participants to bring their most unconventional 'drivers' to the tee, aiming for prizes in categories like 'Furthest Distance Drive', 'Most Creative ‘Driver’', and 'People’s Choice', this event, announced by the city of Tukwila's official website, encourages liberation from the traditional golf clubs - be it a hockey stick as the famed movie character or any other inventive object participants deem suitable.
Those interested in the event details can look forward to the competition starting at 7:45 p.m., with the film to follow around 9 p.m., according to the city's announcement. Additionally, Billy Baroo’s, the course restaurant, will remain open until 10 p.m., ensuring refreshments are available to complement the night's entertainment.
For attendees driven more by the love of golf than the silver screen; Foster Golf Links has them covered with a round of Glow Ball teeing off with a Shotgun Start at 8:45 p.m.— this means all teams start simultaneously but at different holes, fostering an all-encompassing atmosphere of friendly competition and shared experience; the sign-up fee is $60 per person, which not only includes the 9 holes game with the necessary glow balls and glow swag but also comes with a $10 Billy Baroo’s gift card, ready to be claimed by reaching out to the Pro Shop at 206-242-4221.
With a centennial celebration that continues to find ways to engage and entertain, Foster Golf Links seems to understand the blend of tradition and novelty, offering an experience that promises to be a highlight of the summer social calendar for both the local golfers and the cinephiles alike.
