| Bottoms |
Before each roll a player may call "Bottoms". When "Bottoms" is called the bottom side of each GOLO dice will be in play on that roll and scores from the bottom side of the dice will be used. "Bottoms" can be used as strategy especially if your previous rolls have been producing consistently high numbers. But beware, if you live by "Bottoms" you can die by "Bottoms". |
| OB (Out of Bounds) |
When a GOLO die rolls off the designated field of play it is out of bounds. The rest of the roll is considered void, and the player re-rolls the die that left the playing field. A two-shot penalty is added to the score on that die and represents that hole played. If more than one die falls from the field, the highest par is selected. For example, if a blue par 5 and a red par 3 fall from the playing surface, then the player re-rolls the blue par 5. |

| Unplayable Lie |
When the dice are stacked on top of one another or have not come to rest completely flat on the bottom side, it is an unplayable lie. A single unplayable lie results in a re-roll with no penalty. A second consecutive unplayable lie results in a re-roll with a one-stroke penalty applied to the next die removed.
Rule revised June 2001. Previously referred to as "Hotels." |
| DQ |
Players are disqualified for cheating, picking up dice before they are scored, or leaving the game before the round is completed. |
| Mulligan |
If the die is caught by the player before it rolls off the playing surface, that player receives a mulligan and may re-roll that die with no penalty. |
