Hole-in-One Service
Purchase paper napkins with a golf-theme design. Wrap sets of knives, forks and spoons together in a napkin, and tie with cord or yarn. Place them at the end of the buffet for the guests to pick up after they get their food.

Serve this brunch buffet style on your deck or in your backyard. Place the cream cheese spread in a fun container, and tuck it alongside the muffins in a large wicker basket.

 
Par for the Party
Give prizes for the longest and shortest drives, lowest and highest scores, closest to the pin and hole in one. Golf towels, gloves and sleeves of balls make great prizes.

For a fun party favor, place colorful tees in small jars or clear plastic bags and tie with ribbons.
