JAQ-20 ★ Jaques ▶ Table Golf

TABLE GOLF. THIS game is played with the small boxwood pieces, which represent the “putting holes,” and which are placed at various spots on the table at the discretion of the players. Their position should be noted by numbers marked with the chalk on the cloth, upon the spot they are to stand. By the use of handkerchiefs or other material, such as gauze netting, obstacles to represent bushes, bunkers, &c., may be formed. The object of the game is to start from the No. 1 hole and play into each successive hole in turn; the winner is he who first places the Counter into the last hole on the table. The first move shall be decided by lot. The players having selected a small and large Counter of the same colour, play in tom, and endeavour to place their small Counter into the first “hole” by flipping it with the larger one in the usual manner. Upon a player gaining a “hole,” the Counter is taken out immediately and placed one inch from the “hole” in any direction, ready for the next turn. If a Counter is covered, the player to whom it belongs loses his turn, so long as it shall remain so. If obstacles are used, any Counter falling into them must remain where it is, and lose two turns, after which time the player to whom it belargs endeavours to flip it into the field of play, and proceed in turn as usual. Only one shot is allowed to each player during his turn throughout the game. Published by J. JAQUES & SON, Hatton Garden, London.
