You hit the ball with whatever club you will use to tee off with as a putter.
Player 1 starts at the nearest tee box marker [that little black ball with the stake]. He tries to putt it so it hits the other marker. If he hits it he goes again and aims at the first ball mark. If he hits it he aims at the opponents. If he hits the opponent they are out and he goes for the next opponent.
That's if he's best player I have ever seen.
Most times player 1 doesn't hit the other marker on the first stroke and then player 2 goes, than 3 and than 4. It's a little like shooting pool. Everyone goes in order and the game takes less than 5 minutes.
Kids being kids, sometimes they liked that game more than golf.

I like sitting in the cart trying to convince my playing partner they can go ahead and hit because they aren't going to hit the green anyway. By the time the witty quips are over, the ambassador is there telling us to pick up the pace.
