We recently told you about a contest underway now to win a chance to see Chris Young in concert and join him for a backstage game of Golden Tee, a video golfing game that Chris loves. So when we heard about the contest, we decided we needed to get the lowdown on Chris’ passion for the game, and he tells us it’s not just him — he’s gotten his band hooked on it, too! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Chris is currently hot on the airwaves with his newest hit single, “Neon,” the title track to his latest album, which also includes the back-to-back number-one hits “You” and “Tomorrow.”

  Chris Young says that he’s hooked on playing the Golden Tee golf game. (:34)
“I’m addicted to Golden Tee, which is…if I was gonna have an addiction, I’m glad it’s that and not somethin’ else! (laughs) But, it’s a game. If people don’t know what it is, Golden Tee Live, it’s a golf game. You can find it in most any bar where you would also run into neons, and I am addicted to it. I actually custom-built a road case into a Golden Tee video game, like to the point that the guys from Golden Tee actually sent me a bunch of the equipment for it, and I had to, like, take a picture next to it and show ’em the finished product.”

  Chris Young thinks it’s funny that he got his band hooked on Golden Tee, too. (:34)
“All of my band, when I first got it, they’re all like, ‘I don’t really play,’ and the only guy I knew that played was my drummer. And so, I’m like, ‘Well, I mean, me and Monty can play.’ And literally, the second week I had it out, we were on the Miranda [Lambert] tour, and I walk in backstage, and I’m like, ‘Hey, guys, can I get in a game?’ They’re like, ‘Well, we got four, so you’ll have to wait ’til we finish this round.’ Literally, it was stacked up. There’s like a waiting list to play the game backstage at 2 in the afternoon. Right after soundcheck, they were all in there. So I got a pretty good kick out of that. I think I’ve got my band addicted, too.”

  After his band began taking over his Golden Tee game, Chris Young jokes that he may have to come up with a new game plan. (:09)
“I’m gonna have to start carryin’ two of ’em! This is ridiculous! See, what I’ll do is when 2013 comes out, I’ll just make a new one, and I’ll let them play the 2012 version.” (laughs)
