Take the copper wire and straighten it. Then cut two two inch pieces. Wrap one end  of each of  the wires in electrical tape.

Bending

Bend the one that is wrapped in not as much tape at a 90 degree angle. Just enough to look like a golf club.

Add magnets to the back of the disks. Then, on the front, write the x's and o's (the x+o is for the person who goes first).

You can put the golf course  on top of the pool table and the pool table on top of the golf course to interchange the games.

To Store.

To store, put the pool table on the bottom and put all of the balls in the corners. Set golf course on top and place the rest of the pieces on top of the golf course. Now it should all fit in the mint tin for on-the-go pocket-sized fun!
