Featured Gear Friday: Sholf

September 17, 2010 in Featured, Tailgating Games

Since starting this tailgating blog back in 2007, we have tested, tried and demonstrated a lot of tailgating gear and written a lot of tailgating product reviews. Some good and some bad. But because we are a blog, a great product we discovered two years ago may be lost in the tons of posts we have published after discovering it. Maybe you are a new reader and haven’t had the time to pour through every single post we have done in the past three years. So in order to help out the tailgaters that might not have read about some of these cool tailgating products, we will be doing a weekly feature on products we reviewed a while ago. We call it Featured Gear Friday and this week’s product is the tailgating game Sholf.

Sholf new design

Cornhole, washers, beer pong, Blongo Ball and all the other “tossing games” completely dominate the tailgating landscape. If you want to stand out from the crowd and also have a fun game to offer your guests, Sholf is the one you want.

The game is played a lot like shuffleboard but with a golf putter and golf balls. There are a few slight rule differences but the basic concept is still in place. A rectangular strip of artificial turf painted with some scoring zones to look like a golf course, two sets of differently colored golf balls and a single putter shared by the individual players or in teams of two. Roll it out, place the balls on one end, alternate turns and you are playing Sholf.

You can purchase your own Sholf game directly from our online tailgating gear store, Shop.TailgatingIdeas.com. Your game will include:

  • 1 left/right handed putter
  • 1 Sholf putting green
  • 4 white Sholf golf balls
  • 4 yellow Sholf golf balls
  • 1 carrying/storage bag
  • 2 five foot rope borders to stop over-putted balls.

The complete game including putter is $85.00 plus $14.00 shipping and handling. All Sholf games purchased from Shop.TailgatingIdeas.com will ship from New Jersey via UPS. Buy Sholf HERE.

Have you had a chance to play Sholf yet? If not you are really missing out on a fun and unique tailgating game. We discovered Sholf over a year ago and liked the game so much that we currently offer them on our online tailgating store, Shop.TailgatingIdeas.com.

Last month we told you that a new design for the Sholf game was coming out in January. Well, January is here and we just heard from the manufacturer that the new design has been approved and is available for sale once again. Take a look at the new design below.

(All Sholf games purchased via shop.TailgatingIdeas.com will include a left/right handed putter.) Believe me, when you roll this out at your next tailgate party you will get people stopping by wanting to play it.

New Sholf Design Available January

December 15, 2008 in Tailgating Games

You may not have been a regular reader over a year ago when we first introduced you to a great new tailgating game called Sholf. It’s a combination of the game of shuffleboard and golf to create a brand new game perfect for tailgating.

I have good news and bad news. I was just informed by the manufacturer that the original design of Sholf is completely sold out. That’s the bad news. The good news is that they have a brand new and fresh redesign coming out and it will be available mid-to-late January 2009. More good news is that the price will go down as well. Here is a sneak peek at the new design.

This design is not finalized but could be very, very similar when it all said and done.

You can still purchase Sholf via Shop.TailgatingIdeas.com… you’ll just have to wait until sometime January 2009 to have it shipped. If you can’t wait that long and want to buy a unique tailgating game before the holidays, check out the Tailgating Games section on Shop.TailgatingIdeas.com.
