![]() ![]() Contact a cushion with any ball after a legal hit.Legally pocket the player's object ball.Failing to hit the shooter's ball first or at all.Any other ball is spotted as close as possible to the foot spot. If it is the cue ball, it is spotted by the next shooter on the D. The following constitute fouls ( faults): The game is also usually assigned a base value which is given to the winner by the losing players. Players owe each player the difference between their hickey count and that player's count. Players are assigned a certain predetermined value for each foul committed. But as they get hit by player's object or cue balls as the game progresses, the red balls end up "floating" about the table, creating roaming obstacles and making the game much more difficult, particularly when a larger number of players (i.e. The red balls are not penalties in themselves. Knocking over a pin results in a pre-defined number of "penalty strokes" added to the offender's score, and they must then also restart the current hole. In some more advanced versions of golf, wooden pegs (AKA skittles) are placed on all spots except for the Black spot, and floating red snooker balls are placed in the middle of each cushion. The game is won when one player legally pockets his ball into the 6 hole. (this only occurs if the shooter did not hit his ball first, not necessarily on a cue ball foul) This rule is highly unusual, perhaps even unique, in the world of cue sports, and often unused even in golf. If the player before the incoming shooter committed a foul, and the new shooter is snookered (does not have a clear shot to his ball), the ball(s) in the way may be temporarily moved (gets A lift) so that the shooter has a clear shot. It is possible to run the 1,2,3,4,5,6 holes but highly unlikely on a snooker table as compared to a pool table, due to the rounded, thus narrower pockets. Note that it is possible for the first player to win the game without any other player getting to shoot. Once all players have taken their first shot, players shoot with the cue ball wherever it lies after the previous shot. An object ball not pocketed is left on the table. If they succeed, the object ball is spotted again and they proceed, playing with the cue ball as it lies, to the next hole, otherwise it is the next shooter's turn, who also shoots the cue ball from the "D" or kitchen at their numbered ball on the foot spot, aiming for the 1 hole. The player attempts to pocket his ball in the 1 hole. The player may then place the cue ball in the "D" area as in snooker, or on a "D"-less American-style table, in the kitchen (i.e., behind the head string). The first player places their numbered ball on the foot spot. The object for each player is to pocket ( pot) their own object ball in the 1 hole, 2 hole, 3 hole, etc., in ascending order. The pockets are assigned numbers, clockwise starting at the top right corner pocket as viewed from the top (head) of the table, as the 1 hole (or 1 pocket) through 6 hole. Using some method such as the lag, an order is established, and the players always shoot in that order. The players each receive a numbered object ball. In 2006 the Billiard Congress of America commented it was more popular than snooker in the United States. It is usually played on 10-foot or 12-foot snooker tables as their size and structure are more appropriate. The game borrows from the outdoor game of golf, which is historically related to the cue sports. Unlike the majority of such games, it allows more than two people to play without compromises or rule changes. Golf billiards (also referred to as simply golf in clear context, and sometimes called golf pool or golf pocket billiards) is a pocket billiards game usually played for money. ![]()
