Abstract
The present invention comprises a golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf ball game apparatus comprising three interchangeably mateable golf ball game panels having two fixed concave surface configuration members representing golf hazards raised mounds. The gam apparatus is played with at least one set of sixteen golf balls whereby via billiard cues the cue golf ball must strike and pocket game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table.
Claims37
A golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf ball game apparatus comprising:
- three interchangeably mateable golf ball game panels for placement on the existing billiard table surface, the individual game panels comprising:
- a first game panel having two fixed concave surface configuration members, wherein one concave surface configuration member is colored blue to represent a water hazard and one concave surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- a second golf ball game panel having two fixed convex surface configuration members, wherein the convex surface configuration members represent raised mounds;
- a third golf ball game panel having one fixed concave surface configuration member, wherein the concave surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- at least one set of sixteen golf balls, wherein fifteen game golf balls have coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard game balls and one cue golf ball has coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard cue balls;
- and
- a triangular golf ball rack for receiving and arranging the game golf balls in a triangularly shaped group,
- wherein, the golf ball game panels are mateably positioned on the existing billiard table surface creating an uneven hazard filled playing surface whereby via billiard cues the cue golf ball must strike and pocket game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table.
A golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf all game apparatus comprising:
- a first golf ball game panel for placement on the existing billiard table surface having fixed surface configuration members;
- a second golf ball game panel for placement on the existing billiard table surface and mateable to the first golf ball game panel having fixed surface configuration members,
- a third golf ball game panel for placement on the existing billiard table surface and mateable to the first or second golf ball game panel having fixed surface configuration members,
- at least one set of sixteen golf balls, wherein fifteen game golf balls have coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard game balls and one cue golf ball has coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard cue balls;
- and
- a triangular golf ball rack for receiving and arranging the game golf balls in a triangularly shaped group,
- wherein, the golf ball game panels are mateably positioned on the existing billiard table surface creating an uneven hazard filled playing surface whereby via billiard cues the cue golf ball must strike and pocket game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table.
A golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf ball game apparatus comprising:
- three mateable golf ball game panels for placement on the existing billiard table surface, the game panels having fixed concave and convex surface configuration members;
- and
- at least one set of sixteen golf balls, wherein fifteen game golf balls have coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard game balls and one cue golf ball has coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard cue balls;
- wherein, the golf ball game panels are mateably positioned on the existing billiard table surface creating an uneven hazard filled playing surface upon which via billiard cues the cue golf ball must strike and pocket game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table.
A method for playing a golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf all game apparatus comprising:
- placing three mateable golf ball game panels on the existing billiard table surface, the individual game panels comprising:
- a first game panel having two fixed concave surface configuration members, wherein one concave surface configuration member is colored blue to represent a water hazard and one surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- a second golf ball game panel having two fixed convex surface configuration members, wherein the convex surface configuration members represent raised mounds;
- a third golf ball game panel having one fixed concave surface configuration member, wherein surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- utilizing at least one set of sixteen golf balls, wherein fifteen game golf balls have coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard game balls and one cue golf ball has coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard cue balls;
- utilizing a triangular golf ball rack to group the game golf balls in a triangular shaped group at a first billiard table end;
- placing the cue golf ball at a second table end opposite the triangular group of racked game golf balls;
- breaking the triangular group of racked game golf balls with an opening break shot by striking the cue golf ball with a billiard cue, the cue golf ball striking the breaking up the triangular group of racked game golf balls;
- and
- pocketing the game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table by first striking the cue golf ball with a billiard cue, the cue golf ball then striking the game golf ball to be pocketed, directing the game golf ball into the desired drop pocket.
A method for playing a golf ball game of claim 24, wherein the first game panel is placed on the existing billiard table surface at the head of the billiard table.
A method for playing a golf ball game of claim 28, further comprising the step of placing the 8-ball in the center of the group of game golf balls in the triangular golf ball rack.
A method for manufacturing a golf ball game apparatus for use in conjunction with billiard cues and a billiard table having cushioned rails and drop pockets, the golf all game apparatus comprising the steps of:
- providing three mateable golf ball game panels for placement on the existing billiard table surface, the individual game panels comprising:
- a first game panel having two fixed concave surface configuration members, wherein one concave surface configuration member is colored blue to represent a water hazard and one surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- a second golf ball game panel having two fixed convex surface configuration members, wherein the convex surface configuration members represent raised mounds;
- a third golf ball game panel having one fixed concave surface configuration member, wherein surface configuration member is colored brown to represent a sand hazard;
- providing at least one set of sixteen golf balls, wherein fifteen golf balls have coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard game balls and one golf ball has coloring and indicia similar to traditional billiard cue balls;
- and
- providing a triangular game golf ball rack for arranging the game golf balls into a triangularly shaped group,
- wherein, the golf ball game panels are mateably positioned on the existing billiard table surface creating an uneven hazard filled playing surface whereby via billiard cues the cue golf ball must strike and pocket game golf balls into the drop pockets of the billiard table.
