bullet::::- flog - the name of this event was "golf" spelled backwards. a miniature golf hole was set up in the studio, and to be able to putt, contestants had to observe a word spelled backwards and tell what the correct word was when spelled correctly. the team who made it into the hole first won. occasionally, palindromes were thrown in to catch the contestants off guard; the most notable and often used was racecar (used on the show itself as well as when carrington demonstrated the game as a guest host on another nickelodeon show, "don't just sit there".)
think fast (1989 game show)
