The 19th hole isn’t just a place to grab a post-round drink. It’s the ultimate melting pot of personalities, where the real stories, exaggerations, and life lessons from your round get hashed out. If you’re lucky, you’ll run into these five unforgettable characters—masters of the clubhouse who make the 19th hole a legendary part of any round.

1. The Scorekeeper

• Defining Characteristics: Glasses perched low, scorecard clutched like it’s the Magna Carta.
• Signature Drink: Light beer, maybe a single whiskey if he’s feeling “wild.”
• M.O.: Every 19th hole has one, your group probably has one—the guy who knows every single detail of the round, right down to who double-bogeyed the 7th. He’s already recalculated handicaps by the time he sits down and loves to remind everyone of his birdie on 12 (the one that’s been told so many times because it's the only one he's had in the last 6 rounds). If you played with him, be ready to have your score “double-checked” because the Scorekeeper has a memory like an elephant...who’s been holding a grudge since the first tee.

2. The Guy Who’s Having a Bachelor Party

• Defining Characteristics: Golf polo with his mug on it, goofy grin, crew of loud friends.
• Signature Drink: Whatever his buddies just bought him, plus the occasional surprise shot.
• M.O.: This guy didn’t come to the golf course to work on his handicap; he came to celebrate (and barely remembers how the front nine went). Surrounded by friends in matching “Last Swing Before the Ring” shirts, he’s the life of the 19th hole, with each round bought by a different buddy and every drink bringing him closer to actually trying the worm. By the time he’s ordering Broken Tee Vodka shots for the whole bar, everyone’s joined the party, even if they’ve only just met him.

3. The Guy Who Won’t Stop Talking About His Handicap

• Defining Characteristics: Smedium Golf shirt, sleeves rolled to show off…everything.
• Signature Drink: Protein shake spiked with vodka or whatever low-calorie option’s available.
• M.O.: This guy has one mission: to make sure everyone within earshot knows he’s a “solid 4.” Every story somehow circles back to his handicap, his fitness regimen, or his custom clubs. He’ll offer unsolicited advice on how you could lower your handicap too if only you’d “train more.” Whether he shot an 85 or a 75 that day, he’s quick to blame “subpar greens” or “the wind” or "fill in the blank". He's annoying, but he's good, which is also annoying.

4. The Golf Fashionista

• Defining Characteristics: Loud polo, argyle socks, pristine white shoes (that somehow survived the whole round).
• Signature Drink: Something fashionable, like a gin and tonic with cucumber.
• M.O.: The Fashionista didn’t come here just to play golf—he came to make a statement. His clothing is the loudest on the course, and he has a knack for picking shades of neon you didn’t even know existed. In the clubhouse, he’s the guy flipping through his phone, making sure his round made it onto his Instagram story (filters and all). And despite his score, he’ll have you convinced that looking good is half the game.

5. The Guy Who’s Here for the Drinks

• Defining Characteristics: Worn-out shoes, a winning smile, zero recollection of his score.
• Signature Drink: Whatever’s cold, wet, and on special.
• M.O.: This guy’s handicap is just a number, and if you ask him about his round, he might even say “par” with a wink. The Guy Who’s Here for the Drinks didn’t necessarily play well (or maybe he didn’t play at all?), but he definitely wins the 19th hole. He’ll get everyone laughing, tell stories from “the good old days,” and make sure no glass stays empty for long. In his world, the only shot worth remembering is the one on the 19th.

The 19th hole is more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s where rounds are won or lost (at least in the storytelling), friendships are forged, and every golf tale grows a little taller. Whether you’re celebrating a bachelor party, obsessing over your handicap, or just soaking up the good vibes, each of these characters brings their own flair to the post-round ritual. Next time you find yourself in the clubhouse, raise a glass to the quirks, personalities, and unforgettable moments that make the 19th hole as much a part of the game as the 18 holes before it. And if you’re lucky, someone might just pass you a shot of Broken Tee Vodka to toast with—because golf should always be played for fun.
