Despite the name, this is a dice game, involving rolling six dice to simulate an 18 hole, Par 72 round of golf.

Created by a leather goods company in Milwaukee, WI, this dice game was not widely published outside of the Midwest.

The mechanism for scoring a hole is based upon a couple of factors, including the number of shakes of the dice that it takes to roll a result which meets this criteria, setting aside the desired par dice after each shake:

Par 3: 3 threes
Par 4: 4 fours
Par 5: 5 fives

If a player rolls this result on the first shake, it's considered a hole-in-one.

If a player rolls three "jumping jacks" during a single shake it is also considered completion of a hole. If this takes one shake it is also a hole-in-one, if two it is worth a score of two on a hole, and so on.

However, there are also "red joes". These cancel par dice and jumping jacks when three are rolled in one shake, and the player is issued a penalty stroke due to being in a hazard. For example, if this occurs on an initial shake, the player earns two strokes for that shake instead of the usual one.

Scores are tallied for 18 holes, based upon the par rating for each hole on the scorecard.
