Description

This board game from South Africa uses custom dice to try to replicate the sport of golf. The contents include a scorepad, instructions sheet, 4 golf course boards with 4 or 5 holes on each one (18 total holes), one D6 die with letters A to F on it (representing which track your ball follows down a golf hole green), 17 different D6 dice representing various golf clubs and distances hit, and 8 player markers (2 each in 4 colors).

Each player rolls the letter die to determine which of the 6 tracks they will follow on the first hole. Then take turns choosing an appropriate golf club die (woods, drivers, etc), each with different possible distances on the six sides, to roll to proceed down the course. There are sand/water traps along the way that your ball can either fly over (if you roll a long enough distance) or land in, which requires you to switch to a different die such as a sand wedge with shorter potential distances on it. Once you reach the putting green near the end of a hole, you switch to a putter die that tells you how many putts it took you to get the ball in that hole. Add up the total of each player's strokes/putts on that hole, and record it on the scoresheet. Then continue on the next hole. Just like in real golf, the player with the lowest score after either 9 or all 18 holes is the winner; or if only 1 player is playing, compete against the provided par numbers.
