Task brief

The task brief is found tucked between the legs of a small statue of a golfer, on a table in a field. The brief for the task is as follows:

Get the ball in the hole from the starting point in as few strokes as possible.

If you choose the same club as someone else, you will be disqualified.

After you decide, you may not change your club, or touch the ball with anything other than your chosen club.

You may only use pure strokes – no lifting, puffing, or nudging.

You have a maximum of 20 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

David drops the contestants off next to a table in a field, from a golf cart.
On the table, there are a variety of objects with which they can strike the golf ball, including: a metal pipe, a baguette, a pizza peel, an ice hockey stick, a bandy (similar to ice hockey) stick, a croquet mallet, a walking stick, a coat hanger, a baseball bat, a sausage, a tennis racquet, a bicycle pump, an umbrella, a chunk of firewood, and a crutch.
Next to the table, there is a plastic pallet covered in astroturf, upon which there is a golf tee and ball.
The hole the contestants need to reach is all the way at the other end of the field, 256 metres away, marked with a flag.
