A throwing and catching game makes use of a series of pylons known as poles that operate analogously to a hole in the game of golf. In the course of play, a player advances the ball, or other throwing object, by throwing the object or the ball in the air and catching the object or the ball. The point at which a ball is successfully caught becomes the point where a subsequent throw is made. By a series of successful turns comprising throw and catch combinations, a player advances towards a pole. A pole is considered completed when the player, after having made a successful throw and catch, is able to touch the pole, while keeping at least one foot fixed at the point where the catch was made. Either a player alone, or a plurality of players in groups may play the game.
