Rules Variants
As Wiffle Golf has evolved, several rules variants have been employed. As Wiffle Golf is a casual sport without any ruling body our organized play, any rule that can be agreed upon by all players may be employed. Several common rules variants follow below:
- An swing which fails to make contact with the ball may still count as a stroke.
- The ball must be struck on the ground (bunted) once it is within 40 feet, or 13 paces of the hole. Because Wiffle Golf is a gentleman's game, the paces are counted by the person about to strike the ball and it is unnecessary to bring a tape measure onto the course.
- You must be able to touch the bat to the tree from the point you tee off. Once a player taps the tree with the bat prior to driving the ball, the other players and gallery should remain quiet until after the shot.

Famous quotes containing the words rules and/or variants:
“Never invite to dinner: those who won’t decide until the last minute; those who come more than half an hour late; those who want to bring along two or three friends; drunks; monologists; those who stay until three o’clock in the morning; those who think that conversation means having an argument; those who take a high moral tone; those who are stupid, ugly, or dull. Enforcement of these rules will enable one to eat alone every night in comfort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
