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:
“There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.”
—Ellen Terry (1847–1928)
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
