This is not your ordinary pub crawl, nor your ordinary round of golf…Like a normal round of golf, you’ll be competing to come out with the lowest score after 9 holes… but your strokes per hole depend on how game you are at taking some tricky ’shots’…
There might be a few extra “Tiger Challenges” thrown in for good measure to earn you a few extra bonuses! All will be revealed at BoB.

This year, Blackstone attacks the CBD in the name of charity for Prosh – and our theme is Mimes!
Here’s why:
1. Mimes are the simplest and cheapest costume theme of all. You just need the black-and-white shirt and a shitload of white makeup. This theme guarantees that even the laziest bastard in Blackstone can dress up to the theme!
2. Our Prosh skit is basically covered, and will look awesome – a massive version of Art vs Science’s Parlez-vous Francais, choreographed by our two resident dancing experts, Jess Dunn and Vanessa Varghese.
3. On a similar note, we can do some awesome stunts related to mimes or silence.
4. We will be impossible to ignore, and it will force people to pay attention when a huge crown of mimes descend on the CBD.
5. Our float will stand out from everyone else’s. Seriously, we will look awesome.
6. Most importantly of all, like all the most successful Prosh themes there will be uniformity – you will be able to tell when you are looking at a Law Student.
Get psyched up – silently!
