Abstract
An indoor golf game including a hole layout area enclosed by netting and a substantially planar rigid or solid rebound surface. A ball is hit from a tee in the hole layout area towards the rebound surface so as to rebound towards a hole in the green area of the hole layout. The ball used in the game comprises a ball having a hard surface so as to provide a feel of a standard golf ball, but a resilience substantially less than a standard golf ball so that the ball resiliently deforms and loses substantial kinetic energy upon striking the rebound surface. The ball has a hardness in the range of 70-105 Durometer, and a resilience in the range of 10%-40%.
Claims17
Games apparatus for a golf-type game, said apparatus comprising:
- a ground or floor surface, a tee area, a substantially planar rigid rebound surface at a position spaced from said tee area, a hole layout area including said tee area, said hole layout area terminating at said rebound surface, said hole layout area including a hole, and
- a ball having hardness in the range of 70-105 Durometer, and a resilience or rebound in the range of 10%-40% so that said ball will resiliently deform and lose kinetic energy on striking said rebound surface, so that a ball hit from said tee area toward said rebound surface may strike said rebound surface so as to rebound therefrom towards said hole.
Games apparatus for a golf-type game, said apparatus comprising:
- a ground or floor surface, a tee area, a substantially planar upright rigid rebound surface at a position spaced from said tee area, an elongated hole layout area on said ground or floor surface having opposite longitudinal sides, said hole layout area including said tee area, said hole layout area terminating at said rebound surface, upright side barrier means in the form of netting on said opposite sides of said hole layout area, top barrier means in the form of netting above said hole layout area including a hole,
- and a ball having a weight in the range of 20-60 grams, a hardness in the range of 70-90 Durometer, and a resilience or rebound in the range of 10%-40% so that said ball will resiliently deform and lose kinetic energy on striking said rebound surface, and such that a ball hit from said tee area towards said rebound surface will strike said rebound surface so as to rebound therefrom towards said hole.
