Let’s draw hats

My workplace held an annual golf tournament.   One year we had some late entries creating some uneven teams.  It was uncertain how we would create the late foursomes.   “The Master” immediately blurted out, “let’s draw hats!”   Most of the folks in the room did not blink an eye and immediately understood what he suggested, but I quickly jotted down the malaphor masterpiece.   This mash-up involves the phrases “draw straws” and “pick names out of a hat” (both methods to pick teams).
