And now for something completely different...

The Holy Grail is a Western Division tournament that is moving this year to Sandy Creek Golf Course. In order to enter Sandy Creek, you must answer 3 questions:
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
What is the air speed of a Calloway golf ball?

This Monty Python influenced tournament offers players the chance to use 3 "Holy Hand Grenades". These allow a player to throw the ball from anywhere to get out of trouble for free - a mulligan tour exclusive!

At any time during the round, the player may pick up his/her ball and throw it in any direction without counting a stroke. The player must stand on the spot where the ball was laying and may take a 1-step delivery. The ball is “in play” wherever the ball comes to rest. A maximum of 1 Holy Hand Grenade may be used on any given hole.

Since Holy Hand Grenades blow scores into little pieces, we add 3 strokes to the scores of each player after the event for MTHI calculation purposes.

Closest to the Pin on hole TBD earns invitation to the West Skins Game
