Players take turns putting golf balls, trying to score points, bump opposing golf balls off the green, and/or protect their own golf ball from bump-offs. Each player or team of two players is assigned a golf ball color.
After all eight golf balls have been played, each player re-putts their furthest ball from the scoring end. This is called the mulligan ball. The player who is not in scoring position putts their mulligan ball first. Only the team with the closest ball(s) to the scoring end receive points. Balls must be completely cross the line to get the higher point value. Play then continues in the opposite direction. The winner of a match is the first to score thirteen points.
Sholf can be played as doubles or singleshttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6070408409583024744&hl=en Sholf featured and explained on Spotlight NJ on the News_12_Networks. In doubles play two contestants are partners against another team of two contestants; in singles play a contestant competes against another contestant.
In doubles play, one member from each team putts from one end of the Sholf putting green and the other member putt from the other end. In singles play, both contestants putt from the same end of the putting green.
