ABSTRACT:
A compact golf course and method of play which employs a number of tee positions facing a series of targets at ranges up to 300 yards with distance indicators whereby a player at one of the tees can drive tee and fairway shots recording precisely the distance attained one each shot. Chipping greens are provided. Putting greens are provided for the putting phase of the golf game. The golfer moves in sequence from the tee and fairway target range to the chipping range and the putting greens. Score cards are provided and layouts of famous course appear on charts located at each tee position to allow the player to play in sequence the holes of the selected famous course. Television cameras are located in the tee and fairway driving range portion of the course. Player actuated supplemental lighting is provided. The method involves teeing and driving to match as closely as possible to the distance of the first hole of the course selected using the targets as an indicator of the range attained on each shot. When the player has reached within 50 yards of a target representing the distance to the pin on the hole of the course selected, he moves to the chipping range at the same distance remaining and chips to the chipping green. Thereafter, he moves to the putting green and puts out and records his strokes. An improved method of scoring provides a permanent record of distance and efficiency of each golf shot in progress, not just the number of strokes per hole as in conventional golf.
