DescriptionBoxed board game for playing golf. The cover (.g) of the box is printed in green, white, and red. The upper left quadrant of the box reads, "ELM HILLS/ GOLF", with a red and white golf ball used for the letter "O". The right side of cover is printed with a man wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, red pants, and white shoes swinging a golf club over his right shoulder. The bottom left quadrant of the cover is printed with four people on a golf course: a woman in a white blouse and skirt holding a golf club over her left shoulder; a woman in red skirt and white blouse arm in arm with a man wearing a red and white outfit and leaning on his golf club; and a younger man standing apart from the other three, wearing a white hat, red shirt, and white pants and toting a bag of golf clubs over his right shoulder.
The game board (.a) is printed in green, white, and black. It depicts a man teeing off in the lower left corner, and a large white building in the lower right corner. The building has a flag flying over it that reads, "ELM HILLS". In the middle and on the top are numbers and spaces for moving pieces.
The score pad (.b) has a grid to score nine holes of golf. There are two slots each for Team A and Team B. The remainder of the game consists of: an envelope (.d) containing eight game pieces shaped like golf tees (two purple, two yellow, two light blue, and two red) and two white and purple dice; and two red paper cylinders (.e and .f) that are each closed at one end, possibly used to shake the dice.
