Abstract
A golf system that includes a tee or other area for striking a golf ball; and a golf green having a concave surface with a ball receptacle located at the lowest point in the surface so that a ball landing and remaining on the green will roll into the ball receptacle. The green includes a resiliently compressible layer coinciding with the concave surface. The resiliently compressible surface may include at least one layer of corrugated plastic material and may be covered with an artificial turf surface. The golf system may be used to play a unique game, wherein a plurality of balls are rolled on the green and travel in a spiral manner into the ball receptacle. The golf green may be mounted on a portable frame.

- providing a plurality of golf balls being clearly distinguishable from one another by color or design;
- having at least three participants of the game each simultaneously rolling a golf ball on said green and intentionally directing their respective rolled golf ball in a direction substantially perpendicular to radii of said concave golf green;
- and
- monitoring said golf balls to determine in what order said balls enter said ball receptacle for each of said balls, said monitoring operation performed by a sensor located in a tube attached to said receptacle, said sensor detecting each ball in an order received in the receptacle to determine the order thereof.
