Object of the game: Just like golf try to get the least amount of time "points" at each stop on a trip.

Preparation: You need to use google or virtual earth to map out your holes, or parking spaces and the estimated times between each stop. Just like golf 18 would be great, but it's up to you.

Number of players:At least 2

How to Play: You use mapquest, and google earth or virtual earth to find the "Par" number of minutes. So say you look up the time estimated by mapquest from A to B and you get there 3 min before the given time from mapquest, then you did "3 under par".

Rules:
  1. Try to have a specific parking spot the player must park in before recording the time. If you're not familiar with the specific stop, google earth or virtual earth it to see if you can see a Satellite map of the location prior to the start of the game.
  2. If there is already a car parked in the spot when you get there, you can either wait (which will make your time longer) for the car to move or park in the spot next to it, but this will give you a 1 min penalty. If either side of the parking spot is occupied, then you can park farther away, but for each spot farther away from the "hole" or parking space (or equivalent distance) a 1 min penalty will be given.
  3. This is an honor based score system so play fair.
  4. If you don't trust the players, then use 3X5 cards and have them stamped or time signed by a local store clerk. Most gas stations and fast food restaurants have time clocks for employees to "clock-in/out" have the store clerk punch your 3X5 card for the time.
  5. Time or points are given by minutes, so if your recorded time is 15:06, then your point value is rounded up so your point value would be 16.
  6. The player with the least amount of points is the winner.
  7. DRIVE SAFE!!
If you make up some courses, share them!


Have fun and play some Civic golf!

it's not ment to be dangerous, just something to do if your going on a trip. I guess it requires you to use good judgment, and not be crazy stupid by speeding all over the place.:roll:
