Playing Tether Golf
Objective:
Putt or toss the tethered golf ball into the hole. Be the first player to win five "holes" in this match play format.
Official Rules (please make up your own):
- First player putts or tosses the ball toward the hole, attempting to wrap through the top or bottom of the ring.
- Keep track of the total putts. Subtract 2 from your putt total if you go in the top of the ring (The "Over"). (Hint: set the ball up oof center and hit it straight toward the wall to curve it over and into the ring.)
- Second player goes next, attempting to get a lower score than their opponent. If one player gets a lower score, they get a point. If it's a tie, replay the "hole".
- The player who wins the hole has "honors" and goes first on the next hole.
- Play until one player wins 5 holes.

Warnings
- Tether Golf should only be used in areas with sufficient space to putt/toss the ball safely. To avoid injury and property damage Tether Golf should not be played within close proximity to property, other persons, and animals including those not participating in the game.
- This is not a children's toy. The recommended age is 14 years old and up. Adult supervision is required for children around game play. Store tether out of reach of children when not in use.
- Do not hang on the tether or backboard/ring. Do not wrap the tether around body parts. Any misuse of the tether may result in bodily injury or damage to property. The ball must not be excessively hit or pulled, and the provided safety release must be used at all times. Do not play if the ball, tether, or safety release show signs of damage.
- Do not putt or swing the ball/tether unless during normal game play. Injury to yourself, others, or property may occur if used incorrectly. Make sure to keep a safe distance from game play when it is your opponent's turn.
