Abstract

A golf game comprises a board having at least one golf hole defined thereon, including a tee and a green. A coordinate system is defined on the board and includes a plurality of first lines extending from the tee to the green and a plurality of second lines disposed transversely relative to the first lines to intersect therewith. When the game is played, a player initially places a flag stick at a selected location on the green and thereafter sequentially rolls dice to determine the direction and distance his marker (ball) will be moved from the tee towards the green to simulate the flight and location of a golf ball on the board. Once the player's marker has reached the green, he then proceeds to roll further dice in his attempt to place the marker at the "hole" whereat the flag stick has been placed. Various obstacles and hazards are defined on the board to further test the player's ingenuity in playing the game.

Dependent claims

A golf game comprising

a board defining at least one golf hole thereon comprising a tee and a green spaced at a predetermined distance from said tee to simulate a fairway and the yardage therebetween, means simulating an array of hazards on said fairway, said tee including a plurality of laterally spaced tee-off positions,
a coordinate system defined on said board comprising a plurality of first lines extending from said tee to said green and a plurality of second lines disposed transversely relatively to and intersecting at least most of said first lines whereby the point of intersection of each pair of said first and second lines is adapted to simulate the position of a golf ball on said board, each of said tee-off positions located at the termination of one of said first lines on said tee, whereby the position of the said hazards with respect to one of said tee off positions is different from the position of the said hazards with respect to another of said tee positions,
marker means positionable on said board at one of said points of intersection of said first and second pair of lines,
means controlled by a player for randomly displaying information thereon to simulate the distance and direction said marker means must be moved on said board from one of said tee-off positions on said tee to said green,
a sub-coordinate system defined on said green and comprised of a plurality of spaced points with each adjacent pair of such points being spaced-apart at a distance less than an adjacent pair of points of intersection of the first and second lines of said first-mentioned coordinate system, and
flag means removable and pre-positionable on any one of the points of said sub-coordinate system defined on said green whereby a player may place said marker means at a selected one of said tee-off positions taking into consideration the position of said flag means on said green.
