Let's go golfing GOLO style
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), Sept, 2005
While baseball and football long ago made the successful conversion from playing field to table-top board game, one wouldn't think the same possible of golf. Well, then, one would be wrong. Just ask Pat Shea, PGA member and president of Front9, Inc., Los Gatos, Calif., whose company makes GOLO.
The game is played with nine color-coded dice, representing holes with pars of three, four, and five. Each die is 12-sided with a specific number sequence that determines a player's score on every hole. The winner hits a low score, just as he or she would in the actual game of golf, hence the object is to go low (get it). While it is recommended that a single game of GOLO be played by one to four competitors at a time, using multiple games allows for more players to enjoy the game at once through tournament action.
GOLO ($19.95) can be found at book and sporting goods stores, pro shops, and national retailers. Visit www.igolo.com for more information.
