Tournament Golf consists of an 18-hole course compiled in book form, a club chart, four plastic playing pieces, one pair of dice, and a pad of score sheets.
The book which makes up the course is a very large comb-bound journal, where each large page is a hole on the course. The holes have a grid overlay indicating the center shot and yards varying from off center. Illustrations and cartoons often accompany the holes on the course.
Players take turns choosing which club they will use, and rolling 2 normal 6-sided dice. Results of their roll are compared to the game chart- a 7 is an ideal shot. The farther away from the center of the bell curve the die roll indicates, the worse the shank or hook on the ball.
Once all players are on the fairway, as in normal golf, player order is determined by distance to the green.
