ABSTRACT:
A golf game in which a game board is provided on which to determine a wind-condition for play and to mark and record player decisions relative to club selection, method of aiming, and the type shot that will be made. A plurality of fairways are provided on cards or boards preferably simulating an actual golf course i.e., there could be nine boards with a fairway on each side of the board simulating the eighteen fairways of an actual golf course. Each fairway board is marked to show the area, distance marker, selected terrain features, and areas that are possible landing sites for shot balls. The greens are color-coded for the purpose of defining putt difficulty. Before teeing off, a player spins the wind vane to determine the wind condition with which he must cope, then with reference to the fairway board, he chooses a club, the point of aim, and the type shot. These decisions are punched on to a calculator and totaled. The total is compared against a shot value card for the hole being played and the player marks his position on the fairway board unless his ball is lost, in water, or out-of-bounds--in which case he tees off again. In the course of play, the player's ball will come to rest on a color-coded green. At which time he throws a dice of the same color as that on which his ball rests on the green to determine the number of putts taken to hole out.
