Setup
Create a mini golf course in your yard using common outdoor items like sticks, cups, cans, and cardboard to form obstacles and holes. Use a mini putter or any straight stick as your club, and a plastic or foam ball as the golf ball. Decide the order of play with a simple coin flip or by drawing straws, and assign a drinking glass to each player for penalties and success rewards throughout the game.

Tips & Strategies
Choose obstacles that are challenging but realistic,stacked cans or narrow tunnels made of cardboard work well without being impossible. If you're playing on grass, pick a ball that won't roll unpredictably, like a foam practice golf ball. The penalty drinks add up quickly, so pace your shots wisely and avoid high-risk moves unless you're confident. Always make sure the area is clear of anything fragile,an errant shot could lead to broken glass and a faintly embarrassing clean-up.
Variations
Reverse Par Holes: The player who finishes a hole in the fewest strokes must drink instead of assigning drinks, flipping the success penalty system.. Obstacle Roulette: Each player adds one obstacle to the course in secret before play begins, so no one knows what surprises are ahead.. Sip Per Stroke: Players take one sip for every shot they make rather than drinking only for penalties, ensuring everyone drinks consistently throughout the game.
