Number of Players: 1 - 4 – kids, parents, grandparents (whomever is available)
Equipment: Any indoor space and a tennis ball each (or tennis ball size.)
Organization: Each player starts with a ball. For U12 & older players – if more than 1 player is involved, 1 player picks the target, the next player determines the path to the target & any other players select the par. Targets can be par 3, 4 or 5. The higher the par the harder or further the target. An example of a target in the picture above, hit the table with the light on it but you must go to the right of the coffee table before playing to the target table and the par is 4.
Object of the Game: All players begin from a similar area. Pass the ball in the direction of the target or obstacle. Once your ball has stopped rolling, you can hit your 2nd shot. Your goal is to make it to the target in par or less. Keep playing until you hit the target; maximum score on any target is 10. As in golf, each player keeps track of their own score.
