ABSTRACT:
A compact golf course 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 and record precisely the distance attained on 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 and pars and distances of famous courses appear on charts located at each tee position to allow the player to play in sequence the holes of the selected famous course. Closed circuit television cameras are located on the fairway driving range portion of the course directed toward the tees. A television monitor and a camera selector switch are located at each tee position so that the golfer may select a particular camera scene to be viewed on the television monitor. Player actuated lighted signs over each tee viewable by the television camera are provided. 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.
