Welcome to the 2026 Bink, the ultimate test of an individual's grit, skill, and resilience.

Golf — Monarch Dunes GC — Friday, May 15th, morning tee times

Format: 18-hole round, 4-man scramble

• All four players hit from the tee box, pick the best shot, then all play from that spot ("best ball").
• Each team must play at least two drives from each player during the round.
• Matching outfits earn 20 points, even just matching shirt colors.
  • Key 2026 change — this course has a dress code: collared shirts, golf attire, hats forward.

Golf Side Challenges

• Hole 14: Everyone must use driver for the entire hole.
• Hole 12 (Par 3): The player who hits his tee shot closest to the hole earns 25 points for his foursome.

  • Ball must be on the green.
