Nine holes, and the hole is the number: hole 1 is the 1s, hole 2 the 2s, up to the 9s. Like real golf, the lowest score wins.
Your turn
You get three darts at the hole’s number and your best dart counts. What it is worth:
Triple = 1 stroke (a hole in one) · Double = 2 · skinny single = 3 (the thin band inside the triple ring) · fat single = 4 (the big outer band) · nothing = 5.
Walk through one
Hole 1. You miss with your first two darts, then clip T1 — the triple counts and you take a 1 for the hole. Your partner hits three fat 1s and takes a 4. Best dart is all that matters, so a scrappy turn with one good dart still scores well.
Winning
Fewest strokes after nine holes. A perfect round is 9. Tied at the end? Playoff holes until somebody drops a shot.
Good to know
Aim at the triple every time — the difference between a triple and a fat single is three strokes.
How to win at Golf
Always aim at the treble. A treble is a hole in one (1 stroke) and a fat single is 4, so the treble is worth three strokes more.
Use your darts. Only your best dart on each hole counts, so an early fat single is a safety net — keep throwing at the treble.
The skinny single is the next best. If the treble is not coming, the narrow single inside the treble ring scores a 3.
Variations and house rules

Par scoring. Some groups score against a par of 3 per hole and count birdies and bogeys.
