Golf Game Review by Jeffrey Reed
Qolf
Bonfit America, Inc.

We can thank three South African schoolboys for the latest golf craze: Qolf (pronounced “Kwalf”). A cross between croquet and golf, Qolf is a family game for one to 12 players, and it can be played indoors or outdoors.

A test of accuracy, touch and skill, Qolf is also a game which allows you to fine tune your short game. To get started, grab your favourite wedge or 9-iron (I used my trusty 50-degree gap wedge with Tungsten weights for extra spin). The game comes with three colour-coded frames which have an arch and a hole. The game is played by hitting the special limited flight Qolf golf balls through each of the frame arches with a minimum amount of strokes. And, you can earn bonus points by hitting the ball through the smaller upper frame hole.

Qolf allows you to custom design a course layout on any indoor surface using Qolf indoor frame stands, or on a grass surface using natural obstacles – or dear old dad lounging on the hammock – as hazards. Four players or teams can complete an entire round of Qolf in about the same time dad takes that half-hour nap. Or, you can wake up dad and compete for double your weekly allowance.

Qolf really is a game for the entire family to enjoy, and it really does test your short-game skills. The Qolf golf ball feels like a regulation ball off the club face, and reacts like a real ball up to 35 yards despite its limited-distance properties. You can actually fade, draw and spin this ball.

There are a variety of Qolf purchase options, beginning with a TV special at $39.95 US, and you can purchase game pieces separately. The game comes with full instructions, including a DVD.

If you like croquet, but love golf, then Qolf is your game. Visit www.qolf.com for more information on the game and how to purchase it for your family.
