BASIC PUTT-PUTT MINI GOLF RULES



BASIC PUTT-PUTT MINI GOLF RULESThe OBJECT of Mini Golf is to get the ball in the hole using the LEAST amount of strokes.DEFINITION OF A STROKE: Every time the putter touches the ball, that counts as ONE STROKE. Regardless of whether it barely rolled at all, regardless of whether you meant to do it or not … it still counts as a stroke.If you swing and MISS entirely, we are NOT counting that as a stroke. To save face, umm … errr … we’ll call that a practice swing. (grin)We use the HONOR SYSTEM when counting our strokes. It’s all about having fun so please don’t ruin it by cheating. Please keep track of your strokes accurately. One person in your group will be in charge of writing down the scores. BALLS LEAVING THE PUTTING AREA: If you hit your ball too hard and it bounces OFF the putting area, you must start again from the tee. The errant shot counts as a stroke. You do NOT receive an additional penalty stroke. Your penalty is having to start from the tee again.WHO HITS FIRST? Decide amongst your group the order on the first hole. After that, typically, the person who scored lowest on the previous hole has “Honors” (hits first). If no one scored lower on the previous hole, use the same order you used last.WHO HITS FIRST AFTER TEEING OFF? After all have teed off, whoever is FARTHEST from the hole is the first to hit. This continues until the hole is completed.HITTING YOUR BALL INTO ANOTHER BALL: Each of you will be issued a penny to be used as a ball marker. If you think your ball might be in the way, mark it. (replace it with the penny in the exact spot you ball sat) The game of mini golf consists of playing a ball from the tee into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes inaccordance with the rules posted at the tournament site.
