Grip it · Sip it · Settle it

Grip It. Sip It. Keowee.

One lake. One crew. Eighteen holes and a fridge full of cold ones standing between you and a year of bragging rights. The clubs are clean, the cooler is loaded, and somebody is absolutely going home humbled.

Our story

Golf, beer, and one trophy nobody will shut up about

Once a year the whole crew loads up and points the trucks at Lake Keowee. The mission is simple and sacred: play golf you'll lie about later, drink beer you'll rate too generously, and crown one champion who gets to be insufferable until next summer.

There are no spectators here. Everybody tees off, everybody pours, everybody talks a big game on the first hole and a much smaller one by the ninth. Keowee is where we keep the receipts — the scores, the suds, and every promise that got broken somewhere around the turn.

Rules of the Road

  1. First tee, first round — both kinds. No one swings on an empty hand.

    Hydration is a team sport.

  2. Gimmes are inside the leather. The grip, not the shaft. Nice try.

  3. Phones in the cart. The group chat can wait, the beer cart cannot.

  4. You break it, you buy it — the round, the bet, the silence after a shank.

  5. Last place handles the cooler restock. Motivation, basically.

  6. What happens at Keowee gets exaggerated at Keowee. Forever.

    The fish was this big.

Ignorance of the rules is no defense. Penalties are paid in pitchers.
