I have been thinking about buying a shuffleboard table for my boyfriend for Christmas. I’ve never bought one of these tables before though so I’ve been doing a lot of research into what to look for in a shuffleboard table. While doing this research I discovered a new type of game that you can buy. It’s called Sholf.

Sholf is a mixture between shuffleboard and golf. It is a set that comes with a long carpet and a bunch of golf balls. The carpet has three different scoring zones laid out on to it. Like with shuffleboard, your goal is to put your ball as close to the edge of the carpet as possible without it falling off because only the team that is closest to the edge gets to count the points. Like with golf, you use a putter to hit the ball across the green carpet.

The game looks like it could be fun. You can hit your ball into other people’s balls in order to knock them off the carpet and get your ball closest to the edge where you want it. I think we’d get a kick out of playing that. Still, it’s not the same as a real shuffleboard table so I don’t think that this is what I’ll be getting.
