Office golf is a light hearted golf variation. Using the office or workplace as a coarse and the fittings and furnishings as hazards. Holes can be anything, often using paper or plastic water cups. Rules vary to suit the individual circumstances.

Popularity
Office golf is game clouded in secrecy, but is widely rumored to be played at all levels of the work place from the boardroom to the storeroom, by managers and directors to clerks and office juniors.

Location
The office or work place.

Age
Office golf is a game of the working population, and so is restricted to those aged between twenty and sixty five years. Office golf can be played equally by both males and females, it is however predominantly played by young to middle aged males.

Ability
Although a good putting skill is desirable, self restraint and respect of the surroundings is probably a more important attribute to posses.

Description
Office golf must be the ultimate game of adaption, Office Golf is a challenging sport. Consider, for instance, the problems presented by various floor coverings; from carpet to solid smooth surfaces. consider the potential hazards of desks, potted plants and filling cabinets. Even stairs and stair wells become a playable challenge or a link between offices (holes). Balls can be a standard golf, ping pong, whiffle or even screwed up paper.

Dedication
It's finally here: golf for the office! No more interminably dreary Monday-to-Fridays. No more longingly staring out the window, aching to be somewhere else. Now, hours once wasted planning, managing, manufacturing, selling, marketing, lawyering, and accounting can be put to productive use in improving putting, driving, and chipping skills. It can be argued that the playing of office golf in recognised break times can lift worker moral and improve team spirit, (its worth a try anyway).

Potential
The only potential in playing office golf successfully is in reputation or perhaps in not buying a round of drinks, (traditionally the loser buys). If office golf is played to excess the potential could be to lose your job.
