Anything but a Putter

Get ready to ditch the putter | On one of our greens, you’ll have the chance to take a shot with anything but your putter! Whether it’s a driver, wedge, or something wildly creative, this is your moment to show off your skills (or just make everyone laugh). It’s all part of the fun and a great way to shake up the game while supporting a cause that matters.

Griffiss Institute and Cedar Lake Club reserve the right to review and refuse any item we deem unsafe or inappropriate for play. Let’s keep it fun and friendly for all participants!
