Lemon Golf is the best use for a lemon outside of perking up a gin and tonic or removing scum stains from the inside rim of a toilet—and it’s a wonderful party game.

To play, give all competitors a lemon (their ‘golf’ ball) and a golf putter. The aim of the game, as in real golf, is to knock your lemon around the course in the fewest strokes, which, here, is made more fun by the random nature of the lemon’s movement. The course is created by positioning upturned paper cups (the holes) around the room. And don’t forget hazards: a sheepskin rug makes a marvellous rough, a scattering of sand could form a bunker.

In these days of health and safety madness it may be advisable for players to wear safety glasses, as one overhit lemon could easily result in a nasty lemon juice in the eye incident.
