They were playing it at a party at work today. The balls are golf balls and 16 inches apart and they are like a bolo. The posts are made of pvc. The top post is 3 points, middle is 2 and bottom is 1. The rules are like jarts but no pointy ends to stick people with. But the golf balls hurt if they hit you.

    Looks like a game that would fit in well with the mix of games we have at our family reunion. What are the measurements between the posts?

    that takes the fun out of it, maybe we can spike the golf balls

    fcd, i cut a few of them open when i was a kid, the ones i did where like a thin rubber band 100 feet long wrapped in a ball{estimate on length }

    Well I think they drilled through the golf balls and attached them with clothes line. The pvc posts were held up by some rebars inside them and the posts yesterday were next to the horseshoe pits on each side as the pits were to wet to toss shoes. Getting hit by a golf ball hurts.
