Abstract

A golf board game comprises a game board (10) marked out into a plurality of golf holes (12). Each of the golf holes (12) comprises a tee area (14), a fairway area (16), an obstruction area (20) and a golf green area (18) having a pin and a plurality of distinct place markers (T1 to T6, FA1 to FA5, FB1 to F5, BB1 to BB5) on or about each golf hole (12). A bank of devices (66) comprising five discs (68) fortuitously determines the result of the tee stroke. Each golf hole (12) has at least a first card (76) having an indication of the place marker (T1 to T6) to which a golf ball travels as a result of the tee stroke. The first card (76) also has an indication as to the nature of the subsequent stroke or strokes to be played, and one or more further cards (76) correspond to the nature of the next stroke to be played. The devices (66) fortuitously determine the results of the or each subsequent stroke.
