  • Hole 3 - Hit from the Throne. Players have to drive from a toilet placed at the tee. 
  • Hole 5 - Tennis ball long drive challenge: See who can get the most distance hitting a tennis ball (provided by the Chamber) instead of a golf ball on this hole. A prize will be given to the golfer with the longest drive with a tennis ball. 
  • Hole 6 - Random Club Challenge: On the tee box, all golfers will draw a card out of a box that will assign them the club they must tee off with and then play out to the green with only that club. No trading allowed. 
  • Hole 7 - Best Decorated Cart: Convince the Live Hole Sponsor at this hole to vote for your team for the Best Decorated Cart award. The prize will be given out after the play ends. 
  • Hole 9 - Elimination hole: For this hole, once you use a player's shot, they are out for that hole. Then, the second shot person gets to sit out with the tee shot person. Once the fourth player is out, all players get to play again. 
  • Hole 11 - Best Themed Team/Best Appearing Crew: Convince the Live Hole Sponsor at this hole to vote for your team for the Best Themed Team/Best Appearing Crew award. The prize will be given out after the play ends.
