Instructions
Collect as many empty cans and jars as possible to use as holes in the course. If necessary, you can use one jar and move it from hole to hole as the game progresses.
Decide which areas to use for the different holes of the course. You may want to use one room, or the garden, and reconstruct the course spontaneously after each game. Alternatively, you may wish to build a mega-course that covers as large a space as possible.
Place the jar on its side at what will be the end-point of the hole.
Decide where the "tee-off" point will be. This is merely where the players will start from--do not actually tee off as you may break something.
Position obstacles between the start point and the hole. Use books to create siding and blocks to navigate around, PVC piping or hollowed-out cereal and oatmeal boxes to create a tunnel, and stiff cardboard to make a simple ramp. You can make a bridge by linking two books by a piece of cardboard, with a ramp on either side.
Test the course a few times to determine its difficulty. Use these test runs to work out the par for the course.
Create more holes, testing different types of shots and skills. Some could test players' long shot ability, some might require a bounce against an obstacle, and more difficult holes may require a mixture of different shots.
Keep score using your pen and paper, or print out scorecards specifically for this purpose.
