Reviving tradition: Ernie Styles’ Bavarian Hops Scramble returns on Aug. 25
(Aug. 11, 2023) The Ocean Pines Golf Club will once again play host to the Ernie Styles’ Bavarian Hops Scramble on Friday, Aug. 25 at 4 p.m.
Originally conceived by the late Ernie Styles, the Bavarian Hops Scramble was designed as a fun, nine-hole experience where participants could engage in a friendly round of golf, accompanied by four refreshing hops beverages.
Laughter, camaraderie, and enjoyment were at the forefront of this unique event, with participants raising their glasses to toast cherished memories and contribute to local causes. Notable beneficiaries have included the Worcester County Humane Society and Diakonia, and the event has raised more than $30,000 for local charities since its inception.
This year, Patty Curtin and Don McMullen have taken over as event organizers.
The 2023 Ernie Styles’ Bavarian Hops Scramble promises an array of exciting features:
All proceeds are directed towards the worthy causes of Diakonia and the Worcester County Humane Society.
Entry is $25 per person, and cart and greens fees are the responsibility of each participant. The registration deadline is Monday, Aug. 21.
