Abstract
A golf game apparatus which has at least three rotatable targets activatable by a golf ball, which has a horizontal supporting arrangement for rotatably supporting the targets, wherein each target has a rest position indicating a forward facing target surface in the rest position; a rotation-detecting arrangement coupled to each target, a computing arrangement coupled to the rotation-detecting arrangement for computing game-related scores and parameters.
Claims19
A golf game apparatus comprising at least three rotatable targets activated by a golf ball, horizontal supporting means for rotatably supporting said targets, wherein each target has a rest position presenting a forward-facing target surface in said rest position;
- rotation-detecting means coupled to each target, computing means coupled to said rotation-detecting means for computing game-related parameters, and display means for displaying said parameters;
- a light-reflecting area on said rotating targets;
- a light source for illuminating said reflecting area;
- and a light sensor for sensing reflected light from said reflecting area coupled to said computing means for indicating rotation of said rotatable targets.
A golf game apparatus comprising at least three freely rotatable targets activated by a golf ball;
- a horizontal shaft freely rotatably supporting said rotatable targets;
- each target being freely rotatable in a spinning motion about said horizontal shaft, and having a rest position presenting a forward-facing target surface in said rest position;
- rotation-detecting means coupled to each target;
- computing means coupled to said rotation-detecting means for computing speed of rotation of said rotatable targets and for computing game-related parameters;
- and display means for displaying said parameters.
A golf game apparatus comprising at least three rotatable targets activated by a golf ball;
- a horizontal shaft rotatably supporting said rotatable targets;
- each target being rotatable about said horizontal shaft, and having a rest position presenting a forward-facing target surface in said rest position;
- rotation-detecting means coupled to each target;
- computing means coupled to said rotation-detecting means for computing speed of rotation of said rotatable targets and for computing game-related parameters;
- display means for displaying said parameters;
- a light-reflecting area on said rotating targets;
- a light source for illuminating said reflecting area;
