For one weekend only, Coca-Cola Field has become a golf course. It's the 2nd annual Links Course at Coca-Cola field this weekend where residents can enjoy 9 holes (par 27) of golf.
HOW IT WORKS: Tee boxes are set up in the stands with holes set up all over Coca-Cola Field. Golfers will tee off from the boxes and aim to get as close to the designated flag stick as they can with that one shot. The hole is surrounded by various shapes. If a golfer gets their ball inside the shape that surrounds the hole, it's a birdie. If they get their ball between the "birdie shape" and the second shape that surrounds that, it's a par. Anything outside of the designated shapes is a bogey.
