Frequently Asked Questions

As it is with real golf, certain situations can and will arise that players will not be sure how to interpret the rules on how to play. This frequently asked questions section is here to help. If something comes up while you are playing the game that isn't answered here, then please send us an email of your question and we will respond as soon as possible.

Q. If my pencil mark (push) ends up directly on a boundary line, how do I determine which area of the golf course it is in?

A. A push that ends on a boundary line remains in the area from which it came. Example: If a push starts from the fairway, travels over water, and ends on the boundary line between the water and rough surrounding a green, the push is determined to have ended up in the water since it has not crossed over the boundary line.

Q. What if my pencil mark (push) is really light and my competitor and I disagree as to where the push ended up?

A. Use your best judgment and if possible have a third party take a look. As with real golf, honesty and integrity is a must.

Q. How do I use the scoring pegs on the game board?

A. The inside ring from bottom to top is push 1-10. The outer ring is for counting by 10's, i.e. 10, 20, 30,...100 pushes. So if your score was 34, you would have a tee in the third hole up from the bottom of the board in the outer ring and a tee in the fourth hole up from the bottom on the inner ring.

Q. What if the pencil's lead jumps on the page?

A. At the spot the lead leaves the page, that is where the push ends.

Q. Can I use longer pencils than what comes with the game?

A. Sure. Although according to the standard set of rules the playing pencil must not exceed four inches in length, we encourage you to come up with your own house rules. Just make sure your competitors are informed of the rule change so that the playing field is even.

Q. What kind of pencils are used?

A. #2 lead pencils.
