Golf Cross This is a game played with clubs as in Golf (though you won't need your putter), using goals instead of holes and it’s played with an oval ball instead of a round one. Surprisingly, perhaps, this allows more control of the ball in the ball in the air as it spins in 2 dimensions. Dreamed up by Burton Silver, the first games were played in New Zealand in 1989, to be launched, fully developed in 2001.
