 Any number of players, any age, played indoors and outdoors.

This is a very simple game which combines the pleasure of marble-shooting and golf to create a unique game. This is also the most common form of marbles played in Europe and of course, in the Orient.

If this game is played inside, circles may substitute for holes in the outdoors. A course consists usually of three holes, which may be three or four metres apart.

Players begin at a starting line, and each flicks a marble with his fingers in classic marbles style, towards the first hole.  Players count the number of flicks they take to sink their marbles. Players may knock others marbles away as well, somewhat like shufleboard.

At the end, the player with the fewest flicks is the winner.
