Scrabble: Golf Edition

I'm putting this on my list of "guy gifts" this holiday season, I think....

Editorial Review
If, after winning a hotly contested round of Scrabble: Golf Edition, you feel a sudden urge to pick up a letter tile and toss it into the gallery, that'd probably suit the folks at USAopoly just fine. They've fashioned a version of the classic crossword game that retains its traditional rules and equipment but has been dressed up a bit for the golf enthusiast. It's a game where "selecting the correct wood" refers to choosing which tiles to put on the grid (colored to look like a putting green) in order to form the highest-scoring words. By taking advantage of the Birdie Letter Score or Eagle Word Score spaces on the board, players attempt to--horrors!--add points to their scorecard. Additional points can be gained by forming words listed in the included golfing glossary of Tee Words (for example, "mulligan" and "buzzard" are good for a 40-point bonus; "pin," "rake" or "ace" net you 20 points). The Scrabble: Golf Edition is the game of adjoining words that gives new meaning to "a day on the links." --Tony Mason

I'm guessing the purpose of this is for outdoor/pool play? I think it would also make an awesome food display stand for a party.
