Ernie Styles’ Bavarian Hops Scramble returns Aug. 22
(August 1, 2025) The Ocean Pines Golf Club will once again host the Ernie Stiles’ Memorial Bavarian Hops Golf Classic on Friday, August 22nd, with a 4pm shotgun start at the Ocean Pines Golf Club.
The event has raised over $36,000 over the years for local charities, stemming from Ernie’s idea to simply go out for 9 holes, have some fun, and support some good causes. Non-golfers are welcome to join the fun by attending the 7th hole party, where they can cheer and jeer as participants go for the closest to the pin prize – the coveted Hops Hat.
Sponsored by the Ocean Pines Golf Members’ Council, this year’s event supports Diakonia and the Worcester County Humane Society, charities of Ernie’s choosing.
The format is a 2-person Scramble for 9 holes. Men will play from the Orange tees, and Ladies will play from the Charcoal tees.
All friends and participants are welcome to a dinner at The Clubhouse Grill following play. Available menu items include the “Arthur Avenue” (grilled Italian sausage) pulled pork, shrimp salad, or caprese sandwich. You are asked to pre-order your dinner entrée at the Grill.
The event is limited to 72 competitors. The entry fee is $25 per player, and cart & greens fees are the responsibility of each participant. Spaces fill up fast; don’t wait on getting your entry submitted.
Entries must be received by Monday, August 18th. They can be hand delivered to either Don McMullen or Patty Curtin, or mailed to Ocean Pines Golf Members Council, PO Box 1356, Berlin, MD 21811.
