Hate playing in scrambles where people cheat and say their team shot a 57 to win some lame headcovers? Want to come check out the Space Coast and golf in a tournament where poor play and poor conditions are rewarded? You came to the right place. Join us for the worst time of year in even worse course conditions where your golf game actually gets help from your beers. Where else is $70 going to get you a round of golf, a box lunch, 3 kegs of beer, a solid swag bag with choice stuff from Goodr sunglasses, Sunbum and others, and a chance to win meaningless trophies, tons of prizes from Longdoggers, Longhorn, Hemmingways Tavern and Villon, and a chance to have your beer drinking actually help your golf score?

Worried this might get too out of hand? Relax, Karen. There will be a good number of county Fire Fighters and EMT’s amongst us. We will have hydration holes, check stations and volunteers that are here to help. Last year’s temps were 75 degrees at 8:30 tee off and 88 degrees at the 12:45 finish before lunch in the clubhouse. We’re a mix of scratch players, country club guys, covid golfers, mechanics, morons and a bunch of friends who are here to laugh and play some golf.
While we do like to party here on the Space Coast, Brevard County is tough on drinking and driving. Make a plan. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. If you’re coming from out of town there’s a number of great hotels within 1 mile of the Duran Golf Center and around Viera. Uber’s in Melbourne are plentiful and rarely do you wait more than 10 minutes for a ride.
About the Charlie Byrd: We had a friend who’s a deadbeat dad (not cool) so we stopped talking to him a while back. We thought it would be funny to pretend he’s dead and have a memorial golf tournament in his name. In keeping with how horrible he is, we said the course had to reflect it, hence the post punch round. Our mission was to raise money to give to single mom’s (at the Red Leopard) but we’ve lost money each year on the bar tab and aim to keep it that way.
Special Thanks to Jeff @ the Duran Golf Center who made this possible for us to have this event at the finest golf facility in Brevard County.
For our out of town guests, here’s a quick rundown for visiting the area.
