5 Reasons every tournament NEEDS The Roast Hole

When golfers talk about the most unforgettable moments of a charity golf tournament, one thing always tops the list: the heckle hole. That’s the energy Roast Hole brings to every event — live comedy, crowd interaction, and a dose of chaos that turns a normal par-3 into the most talked-about stop on the course. 

Here are five reasons your tournament needs the Roast Hole experience.

                                             "It was the most talked about thing at our event" 

                                                                         - Director, Jim Kelly Celebrity Classic

Ask any player after the awards dinner which hole stood out, and nine times out of ten, it’s the heckle hole. The mix of comedy, competition, and nerves makes it impossible to forget. Golfers might not remember their longest drive, but they’ll always remember trying to swing while a comedian shouts one-liners from the tee box.

Roast Hole transforms an ordinary round into the story every foursome tells when they sign up next year.

The Back Off Challenge is a viral golf trend for a reason. It’s high-energy, unpredictable, and hilarious — and Roast Hole brings it live to your event.

Golfers step up to the tee while professional comedians crank up the pressure. If a player laughs, flinches, or backs off the ball, the crowd goes wild. The Back Off Challenge turns any corporate or charity golf tournament into a viral moment that keeps everyone talking.

Sponsors don’t just get a logo on a sign — they become part of the show. Our comedians weave sponsor names and brands into the jokes, the banter, and the roasts throughout the day. Every foursome hears the sponsor multiple times, which means maximum brand exposure and a lot more laughter associated with their name.

One event director put it best after hosting Roast Hole:

“Sponsors were lined up to sponsor it next year.” – Event Director, Jim Kelly Celebrity Golf Classic
 

When sponsors want back in before the day ends, you know it’s working.

At every Roast Hole, we offer a limited number of Golden Towels — coveted passes that let golfers take the microphone and heckle us. Only three are sold per event, and they come with bragging rights, bonus perks, and shoutouts at the awards dinner. Golden Towels create excitement, competition, and extra fundraising dollars without adding any extra planning for organizers. It’s simple, exclusive, and a proven hit with players.

Every tournament has raffles and longest-drive contests. Not every tournament has live comedy on the tee box. The heckle hole gives your event a unique signature — something players remember, share on social media, and sign up early to experience again. Adding Roast Hole turns your tournament from a standard scramble into a can’t-miss event.

Roast Hole is the original heckle hole experience, created by two professional comedians with more than 50 years of combined stand-up experience. We’ve brought the Back Off Challenge and live comedy to charity and corporate golf tournaments nationwide. If you want your next golf outing to:
