About the game
A simple boardgame version of golf in the 3M Bookshelf Series. Players mark their ball position on the laminated map of the 18 holes at Pebble Beach. They choose a club and then roll dice to determine if the hit is long or short and whether or not it hooked or sliced. There is a special putting chart for when you are on the green. There are four different golfers that a player can be: 'Old Smoothy' ignores extreme die rolls, 'Ironsides' is more accurate with Irons, 'Boomer' gets more distance with Woods and 'The Blade' is better at putting.
