Entertaining expert Dana Christine shares tips on throwing a party with a golf theme.

Figure A

Use a scorecard as the invitation (figure A).
Transform a croquet set into a golf game, complete with golf flags.
Make mini golf flags. Use model clay that hardens when baked as the base. Glue felt flags onto bamboo skewers and insert them into the base.

Figure B

Assemble a buffet table with items relating to golf (figure B). Just follow the steps below.

Steps:

Use a large piece of green felt as the tablecloth.
Cut out golf shapes from a lighter shade of felt, and adhere them to the darker green cloth to represent the greens.
Glue on mini golf flags.
Add pieces of light-blue felt to represent water hazards.
Glue on sandpaper shapes to represent bunkers.

Figure E

Sew on duck buttons for a final touch (figure C).

You could also place boxes at various intervals underneath the felt to simulate hills on the "golf course" (figure D).

Use a permanent marker to label golf balls with the names of the dishes on the buffet table (figure E). Place the balls on O-rings to prevent them from rolling around.

Scatter the table with colorful golf tees. You should be able to find them at a party or discount store.

Figure F

Figure G

Decorate the dining area and/or table with golf trophies (figure F).

Use a golf-bag-shaped mailbox to hold sandwich buns (figure G).
