Listen up, Bolivar. We all know the drill. You’ve spent the last six months meticulously detailing your golf cart—adding underglow lights that can be seen from space, upgrading the cup holders to fit a “Texas-sized” beverage, and debating if a lift kit is enough to survive the beach. You’re ready for the Annual Golf Cart Poker Run.
But this year, the stakes have officially been raised. We aren’t just talking about the thrill of chasing a Royal Flush in a vehicle that tops out at 15 mph. We are talking about the ultimate luxury. The status symbol. The “I’m-more-important-than-you” pass.
New for 2026: Every registrant gets a FREE ferry ride ticket.
Stop. Read that again.
In the world of Bolivar travel, a free ferry ticket is basically the equivalent of a VIP backstage pass to a Rolling Stones concert, but with more seagulls and less glitter. While everyone else is sitting in their trucks, contemplating their life choices as they stare at the “Expected Wait Time: 2 Hours” sign, you’ll be holding that ticket like it’s a winning Powerball stub.
Now, we aren’t saying you should use the ticket to drive your golf cart all the way to Galveston (please don’t, the shrimp boats are faster), but having it in your pocket gives you a certain je ne sais quoi. It says, “I support local schools, I play a mean hand of poker, and I am prepared for a nautical adventure.”
Don’t Be the One Left at the Dock:
- Spots are limited: Much like the patience of a driver at the back of the ferry line on a Sunday afternoon, these spots will disappear fast.
- The Cause: Every penny helps support our local schools. It’s for the kids! (And your chance to win prizes is for you—it’s a win-win).
- How to Join: You can register online right now (link below) or head over to The Salty Mermaid to register in person. Let’s be honest, you were probably going to The Salty Mermaid anyway; might as well make it official.
Don’t wait until the registration is full and you’re left sitting in your driveway, staring sadly at your fuzzy dice. Grab your spot, get your ferry ticket, and let’s show everyone that when it comes to poker on four small wheels, Bolivar doesn’t play around.
See you on the road (or the water)!
