The following is a partial list of calls which can precede By Golly at C3B:

Bend The Line ( from 2-Faced Line )	Ferris Wheel ( resulting Centers )	Sweep 1/4
Cross Cycle ( from 2-Faced Line )	Linear Cycle	Turn & Deal ( from R-H 2-Faced Line )
Cycle & Wheel	Recycle ( from a Wave )	Wheel & Deal ( from 2-Faced Line )
Fancy ( resulting Centers )	Shakedown

Notes to callers:

When pushing checkers, By Golly is equivalent to Touch 1/4 or Left Touch 1/4.

The Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) uses the following alternate definition for By Golly: From Facing Couples where all dancers have the same Roll-direction (i.e., if the next call was a Roll, then all dancers would 1/4 Right or all dancers would 1/4 Left): If the Roll-direction is to the Right then Veer Left and 1/2 Tag; otherwise if the Roll-direction is to the Left then Veer Right and Left 1/2 Tag. This generalized definition allows By Golly to follow calls such as Couple Up, Right & Left Thru, etc.
