What is SNAG?
Fun. Easy to learn.
SNAG contains all the basic elements of golf but in a modified form. The game has its own simplified rules and terminology, which adds fun to the learning and playing experience.
Falling somewhere between miniature golf and regulation golf, SNAG allows for full shots, pitching, chipping and putting. The SNAG ball has a limited distance with the average player launching it a maximum of 50 yards. SNAG has only two clubs: the "Launcher" is used to launch, pitch and chip the ball; like a putter, the "Roller" is used to roll the ball on the "Short Stuff." All shots other than putting are played off a small rubber mat and tee called the "Launch Pad." This ensures that the player will have an optimal lie every time.
The target, called the "Flagsticky, also differs from anything in golf as it is not a hole with a cup inside but rather an above-ground weighted cylinder covered with a hook material. The SNAG ball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball and is covered with a loop material. Unlike golf where you finish by putting the ball into the hole, in SNAG, you finish by sticking your ball to the Flagsticky.
