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.
