Archery Golf

Archery Golf is conducted on a standard 18-hole golf course or twice round a 9-hole course.
The 'hole' is a tennis ball resting on a wire hoop 10cm above the ground and is placed level with the hole on the right side of the green, away from the putting surface.
Archers will shoot in groups of 4 (3 to 5 may be allowed).
Each archer will shoot his or her first arrow from the 'tee' position. Their next arrow will be shot from where the first arrow landed, and subsequent arrow from where it lands.
To complete each hole, the tennis ball must be dislodged or hit.
The par for each hole is the number of arrows shot plus any penalties.
An arrow landing in a bunker or within 1 meter of the tennis ball incurs 1 penalty stroke.
A lost arrow incurs 2 penalty strokes.
'Doglegs' must be followed on the golf course.
No archer is allowed to 'tee off' until the preceding group is on the next 'tee'.
The archer furthest from the hole will shoot first, unless the angle of the shot dictates that it be taken for safety reasons.
The winner of the previous hole shall shoot first at the next tee.

No bow sights of any type are allowed on the bow.
Aiming will have to be instinctive or use point of arrow method, so practice prior to the event is highly recommended.

Any type of arrow may be used, except broadheads, and the maximum diameter allowed is 10mm. A typical set of arrows used would closely follow what the clubs a golfer would use. For example, to 'tee off' a carbon arrow would be used for maximum distance, an aluminum arrow with a field point would be used for shorter fairway shots to get to the green, an arrow fitted with a 'judo point' would be used to get close to the hole to stop the arrow skipping past and an arrow fitted with a 'blunt point' would be used to hit the tennis ball. Special 'Flu-Flu' arrows can also be used for short distance shots. These arrows have over-large feathers wrapped around the shaft and will slow to a stop within a short distance due to wind drag.
Shooting of arrows into the putting surface must be avoided. If an arrow does land in the putting surface, then it should be carefully withdrawn, so as not to lift the turf.
The winner of the competition is the person with the lowest number of 'strokes'.
In case of ties, then the last hole will be played again to decide the winner.

In past archery golf competitions, especially when competing against a team of golfers, it has been proven that to even up the scoring, that each archer competing in the team event starts with  + 18 'strokes'.

Caution
The maximum range of many bows will exceed the length of many of the holes on the golf course. Extreme caution must be taken regarding elevation of shots, especially from the 'tee'. Archers must be aware of the capability of their bows when elevating shots and take careful regard for the safety of other persons who may be within range if an arrow overshoots. Arrows may also skip off the turf, especially if the shot is at a low angle.
If unsure of the safety of a shot, it is better to use a 'judo point' or 'flu-flu' arrow to ensure it does not skip past further than the back of the green.
