BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a golf board game having a playing surface on which golf links are printed and having distance indicating means provided thereon and wherein one or more manually displaceable elements are displaced in accordance with a first displacement indicating means to move it over a fairway area and a second displacement indicating means to move it over a green area towards an objective thereon.
BACKGROUND ART
Various golf board games are known comprising a playing surface printed on a board and on which a displaceable element is moved from a tee area, over a fairway area and on to a green area. However, these games utilize a single displacement indicating means to displace the manually displaceable element over the board. Some of these games also teach the rules of golf to players.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is a feature of the present invention to provide a new golf board game of the above type and utilizing different displacement indicating means for displacing an element over the fairway area and the green area and wherein the players can also practice their real putting skills while playing the game.
According to the above features, from a broad aspect, the present invention provides a golf game which comprises a playing surface on which there is contained a plurality of designs representing golf links. Each of the golf links has a starting area, a fairway area and a green area. Distance indicating means is provided on the fairway and green areas. At least one manually displaceable element is supportable on the playing surface. First displacement indicating means is provided for the displacement of the at least one manually displaceable element over the fairway area. A second displacement indicating means is also provided to cause displacement of a displaceable element towards an objective associated with the green area.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a golf cup element supportable on a ground surface showing a real golf ball and real putter used in combination therewith, and
FIG. 9 is a schematic view as showing the elements of FIG. 8 in use and using marker elements to simulate the distance indicating means provided on the green area of the game board.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to FIGS. 1A and 1B is shown generally at 10 portions a board having golf links 11 printed thereon. As board has a central folding crease for folding the board in two sections. Golf links 11 are also printed on the backside of the board, although not shown. The board containing eighteen golf links 11.
Each of the golf links 11 has a starting area 13, a fairway area 14 and a green area 15. Distance indicating means in the form of transverse lines 16 extend over the fairway area 14 and the green areas 15. At least some of these transverse lines have distance markers 17 printed thereon. The distance markers 17 are calculated from the tee area 13 to the green area 15. Other distance markers may be provided to indicate some of the distance remaining i
