Pin-Golf Round 4!

We had a tee-rific (sorry) turnout for our latest Pin-Golf tournament at Replay Bar, with players driving, chipping, and flipping their way through each hole to stay under par. A huge thanks to Replay Bar for hosting us, and to our sponsors Vocaf and Stern Army for helping make the event such a success!

In Pin-Golf, each machine is set up as a “hole”, with a target score acting as the par. Players try to reach that score in as few balls as possible – the fewer balls you need, the better your score for that hole. It’s a great mix of skill and rule knowledge to understand what will get you to the target in your current position.

We had a strong field across both divisions, and even a few latecomers joined in for the unranked, casual B-Division after Pin-Golf concluded – including Mark, who drove all the way down from Launceston and swept the win! 🏆

The target scores were set a little tougher this time due to the smaller course, but everyone rose to the challenge and played some fantastic rounds. Special shout-out to Brett and Royal, who were the only players to score a hole-in-one – both achieved on Metallica! ⛳

After qualifying, players faced off in a double elimination finals bracket, meaning you had to lose twice before you were out. The primary bracket ran best-of-three matches, while the secondary bracket was a quick best-of-one. It made for some tight contests and close calls!

Big thanks again to Vocaf for sponsoring the prizes (and keeping everyone energised!), and to Stern Army for supporting competitive pinball.

Our door prize was a Stern Transformers Translite and a Vocaf cap, won by Brett on the random Wheel of Names – congratulations! 🎁

Huge thanks as well to all the new players who joined us for their first event – we hope you had a great time and look forward to seeing you back on the leaderboard soon.

Our next event is on Thursday the 23rd, which is the Hobart Show public holiday. We’ll be starting earlier than usual, at 4:30 pm, and running a longer comp so there’ll be more WPPRs on the line. Hope to see you there!
