How to Play

1. Ensure you have the required materials:

   1. 1. A ball, typically a ping pong ball

      2. A hole (cardboard box, empty trash can, hamper, etc.)

      3. Scoring materials

      4. A small rug (optional, but helpful)

2. Setup your score card in a grid with the participants' names as columns, and the desired number of holes (usually a multiple of 9) as rows.

3. The first player gets to 'design' the first hole. This means to place the hole(box), and the shooter location(rug) wherever they would like in the environment. Creativity is highly encouraged, and boundaries** are to be determined collectively or by house rules at the beginning of the game

4. Players take turns attempting to shoot the ball into the hole. A player continues until he or she has made the shot. If the player has not succeeded in 4 throws, they accept a maximum score of 5 , and are allowed on final shot for courtesy (does not impact score). They then mark their score accordingly on the scorecard

5. After the first round, players shoot with respect to 'honors'. This means the player that scored the best in the previous hole, goes first, then second best, and so on. If the players did equally as well, refer to the hole prior, or the original player order if need be.

6. The hole designer rotates in accordance with the original player order, not the score.

7. The winner of the game is the player with the lowest score count at the end of the desired amount of holes

Recommended Drinking Rules

1. If a hole designer creates a hole where all players score 5, the hole designer must take a shot of 80 proof liquor

2. If a hole designer creates a hole where all players score 1, the hole designer must take a shot of 80 proof liquor

3. One social drink at the beginning, and between each round of 9 holes.

** Rules such as bouncing, ricocheting, props, and blind shots should be discussed and agreed upon ahead of time
