Unfortunately the course is closed today so no queen this year. The tournament's governing body will review the situation and consider future adjustments to remedy this situation.

Sorry sports fans, due to a series of broken bones there will be no contesting of the Christmas Queen this year. Lesson: do NOT try to ride you road bike into a curb at 32mph...

From the first shot, 4-time winner Mike Moon announced that he meant business. With solid irons and a butter-like putting stroke Moon erased 16 years of frustration and grabbed the 2022 Christmas Queen in what can only be called ridiculous conditions. Our friends at Boom Cyclone delivered in time for Christmas this year. Record low temperatures and strong winds drove the players to the edge of survival. Well most of them we're already pretty close to the edge already... but it was flippin cold.

Well the forecast is not good. But we will operate as usual, if the course is open, the Queen is on. Sharpen up those ice skates!

Unfortunately the course is closed for maintenance so we're out of luck. Afraid we'll have to defer those competetive juices for 1 more year. Cheers!

Nah, we’re just canceling it. Since virtually everyone is completely sick of this trainwreck-of-a-year and all the virtual shit, we're just going to call it. We invite all to compete at home. Minus the golf. So drink whiskey, smoke cigars and dream about a Covid-free 2021 Queen. Cheers!

The front nine in the 2019 Christmas Queen dealt out punishment with impunity. What looked like a fairly benign day turned into a pitched battle with frozen greens that repelled any shot hit directly onto them from any farther than 10 yards. When the first nine dust settled Ziegler's patched-together swing put him 2-up on the field, most of whom were still in it. Mark "cut-back" Davis staged a remarkable comeback – shooting +8 on the first 5 holes, then turning things around to play the last 4 in -1.

The back nine was a different story and the players began to light things up. After a bogey at 10, 2014 Queen Todd Cowing shot -2 for the remaining 8 holes to come tantalizingly close to another title. 2-time winner Jeff Ackerman and Davis stayed in contention late into the back nine. But Ziegler managed to stay away from the big number and found himself doing shots from the Strath Flask when it was over. GREAT tournament and we'll see y'all in ’20.

It may not be pretty, but the forecast looks like mother nature will allow another contesting of The Christmas Queen. The world's most important sporting event will commence sometime around 9:45am tomorrow. Or whenever we get enough energy to put tee in ground. As always a tremendous battle is expected with equally termendous amounts of whatever liquor Moony brings consumed. Live scoring SHOULD be working. In the words of Jean Paul Sartre... Au revoir gaufre.

As young Pete Johnston prepares to vie for his third victory in a row, the Christmas Queen field is left to decipher what these last two wins mean. What has propelled this middle/bottom of the packer to the pinnacle of golf super-stardom? How could he have achieved this herculean transformation? Does god exist? How can I face my family and say “yep, Pete beat the crap out of me”?

Well lightning DID strike twice as defending champ Pete Johnston got off to a red-hot start and sailed to victory. After opening his campaign with four straight birdies, the youngest of the johnston boys put it in cruise control mode and walked to a six shot victory. Only Joe Karevy could keep pace early but Johnston proved too steady on this day. It should be noted that after YEARS of speculation Dave Johnston finally made his Christmas Queen debut. No doubt he'll look forward to playing with a handicap next time. Great seeing everybody and we'll tee it up again in a year!

Follow live scoring starting at around 10am est. Good luck to all!

If the mighty forecasters of weather are to be believed, the 2018 Christmas Queen Tournament will be played at 10am on December 24th as scheduled. Look for soggy, chilly conditions to meet this year’s group of combatants as they vie for the most coveted of all sporting events this planet has to offer. A confident young Pete Johnston is set to defend and has accordingly begun flapping his gums to that end. No doubt he has put in the same amount of grueling training hours as he did leading up to last year’s triumph. Yeah, zip.

Firing a devastating back nine the likes of which have NEVER been seen at this glorious tournament, Pete “1-Jack” Johnston ended a 16-YEAR DROUGHT and grabbed the Strath Flask for the second time. After nine holes former champ Jeff Ackerman held the lead alone but over half the field was in contention. And it was on that ninth hole that Johnston made his move. That birdie was followed by seven more in an unprecedented hot streak, thus relegating the field to vie for silver. Well done, young Johnston.

Okay, looks like the raging clubhouse fires are behind us... so let’s do this! The weather seems to be cooperating so only another disaster movie scenario can now stop the world’s greatest sporting event from once again thrilling millions of sports fans worldwide. Uhhh, yeah. Let’s play some golf, mofos.

That's right folks, sadly the Nation’s premier sporting event, The Christmas Queen, has unfortunately been cancelled for 2016. A fire on November 20th essentially destroyed the clubhouse and the course remains closed with no clear plan on when they might open. Any rumors as to the involvement of Christmas Queen participants in this tragic event remain absolutely unsubstantiated.

Too soon? Sorry.

Second-time competitor Steve Zwobot birdied the last two holes to grab the 2015 Christmas Queen in what can only be described as insane weather conditions. The players enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime warm conditions but only Zwobot could take advantage and go under par. Four-time champ Mike Moon endured another painful finish after leading much of the back nine. Former champs Todd “Thrifty” Cowing and Pete “Three-Jack” Johnston both shot 30 on the back nine (tournament low) but in the end Zwobot was too far ahead. Congrats to all and we’ll see you in ’16!

Well we’ve come to expect wet conditions, but the forecast for this year’s tournament is truly unprecedented. Mid 70s with a chance of thunderstorms. On December 24th. In Maryland. An un-heard of climate awaits the competitors at this year’s queen; but who might that favor? Who are the warm weather mudders in the field? The Queen has never seen anything like it in its 21-year history.
