  2. Splitting into two teams, toss a coin to determine who goes first.
  3. The first player takes the BLUE ball, and places it next to the stake.
    Using the mallet, the player aims to hit the ball through as many wickets as possible in the below order:

  4. Each wicket passed wins the player 1 bonus stroke
  5. The turn is over, when the player misses the wicket and has no more strokes
  6. The next player takes the RED ball, places it next to the stake and takes their shot.
  7. Play continues in this manner for the remaining black and yellow balls.

If you hit your opponent’s ball you get 2 bonus strokes!
