Frequently Asked Questions
We loved playing traditional shuffleboard but thought it could be improved to bring out another level of competition & game play. Then it hit us - target shuffleboard! Let's design a new shuffleboard game that would move where "targets" are placed around the playing top surface, making each set of 8 pucks something a little different. Shuffle Golf was born.
We not only added 9 golf holes to shoot at but also added some targets that you want to avoid - water hazards & sand traps. A player is not only rewarded for a good shot but could be penalized for a shot ending up on one of the hazards.
Our new, future games will all have this "target shuffleboard" concept incorporated into the graphics and game play rules.
We're confident that you'll love shooting at targets in our games and at the same time trying to knock your partner's pucks into a hazard, or even out of bounds. Play our shuffle games once and you'll be hooked!
Playing has similarities and differences (we call it uniqueness!) with traditional shuffleboard. Traditional Shuffleboard is played on both ends of the table with 2-4 players playing at once alternating their shots. In Shuffle Golf, play is only on one end of the table and is typically played by 2 people who alternate their shots. Two people play head-to-head on a 9-hole course complete with fairways, sand traps and water hazards. Slide pucks trying to get par or birdie or eagle – and if you’re unlucky, you might end up with bogey or double bogey. There are Par 3’s, 4’s & 5’s all with varying degrees of difficulty. Play starts with "shots" towards Hole #1, then proceeding to Hole #2, then #3, and so on and ends after all "shots" at Hole #9.
How do you score in Shuffle Golf?
After all 8 pucks have been shot to the given hole that’s being played, each player’s closest puck to the hole is scored – all other pucks are not scored. And, the puck closest to the hole gets an additional benefit – a par at worst even if its touching one of the hazards (water or sand). Additional scoring for the closest pucks:
• If a puck is completely within the white of the hole, that’s an eagle – 2 under par!
• The puck touches part of the hole – a birdie, 1 under par
• On the green of the fairway – par
• Touching the water or a sand trap – a bogey, 1 over par
• If after all 8 pucks have been played, a player does not have any of their 4 pucks on the board, they are out of bounds – a double bogey, 2 over par
When updating the scorecard, use the easiest notation of each player’s score. A “0” for par, -1 for a birdie, -2 for an eagle, +1 for a bogey and +2 for a double bogey. After all 9 holes have been played & scored, its easy peasy to add up the totals!
