Sholf is a backyard game combining shuffleboard and golf

What is the Mulligan Ball?

After each player hits their four golf balls, Sholf becomes a short game: Each player gets to putt their furthest ball from the scoring end again. The non-scoring player putts his/her Mulligan Ball first.

What if two opposing balls are exactly the same distance from the scoring end?

It is very rare that you can't determine a lead ball, but there are two situations in which this can happen:

If the tied balls are the lead balls and you're determining who putts their Mulligan Ball first, then use each player's next closest ball to the scoring end to determine who's in the lead.
If, at the time you're tallying points, and you can't determine who has the lead ball, then both players score zero points for that round.

What if a golf ball is on the line?

If a golf ball lands on or touches a line it counts as being in the lower scoring area. You should be able to see green, even if it is slight, between the plane of the ball and the line.

Which player goes first?

When starting a new game, flip a coin to determine who goes first.

Which player goes first during a game?

The previous round's winner goes first.

Which player goes first if you're challenging the winner of the previous game?

The challenging player goes first.

Can you play doubles?

You sure can. One variation would be to have your teammate hit your Mulligan Ball and vice versa.

How long will Sholf last?
