ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for playing a golf game comprises a panel behind and to which a club selector disc, a masking member and a stroke result indicator disc are mounted for rotation about a common axis. The panel has therein a window and an arcuate slot. The stroke result indicator disc has a plurality of holes therearound, some of which are accessible at any one time through the arcuate slot in the panel. The indicator disc has a plurality of sets of markings spaced therearound, the markings of each set representing different results for a stroke imparted to a golf ball by a golf club and being positioned so that each is behind the panel window when the stroke result indicator member is at an associated angular position with respect to the panel. The masking member is positioned between the panel and the stroke result indicator disc and has a window therein and a representation of a golf ball thereon. The club selector disc is positioned between the panel and the masking member and has a plurality of windows therein selectively positionable behind the panel window in accordance with the club or type of club to be used. To play a stroke, the club selector disc is positioned in accordance with the club chosen whereby an associated one of the windows therein is behind the panel and over a corresponding one of the sets of stroke result markings. The masking member is moved to a position in which it masks the panel window, the representation of a golf ball then being visible through the panel window. In this position, the masking member partially obstructs the arcuate slot in the panel. To make a stroke, a pointed implement such as a pencil is inserted from in front of the panel through the arcuate slot and into one of the accessible holes in the stroke result indicator disc and moving smartly along the slot. The implement hits the masking member during its travel, simulating the ball being hit by sweeping the representation thereof out of sight. When the implement reaches the end of the slot the window in the masking member is behind that in the panel and a previously unknown marking is visible through the various windows to indicate the result of the stroke. In a modification, the club selector disc and all but one of the sets of markings are dispensed with.
