  3. Golf Bocce
    Bocce is a game of skill and strategy. The object is for one team to get as many of their balls closer to the hole or target than the opposing team's closest ball. There may be anywhere from two to four to eight players on a team. Each player is given two balls. Each player must then take turns hitting the ball toward the hole or target. The players are given points for the balls rolled closest to the target. Players may also strike other balls to move closer to the target. Balls may also be displaced by the balls of other players.

    The team scoring the most points is the winner.
