ABSTRACT:
A board golf game shows a typical golf course including the shape and layout of the holes with both natural and artificial hazards so as to exactly duplicate conditions encountered on the golf course. Playing pieces are moved to one of differently positioned, non-aligned, and marked yardage points which give the exact lie of the ball.
Dice, simulating clubs, and having different yardage values representing frequency and range of a given golf club, are selected and cast to obtain the yardage made by the stroke. This yardage is added to the previous yardage point value to determine total yardage and the corresponding yardage point to which the playing piece is to be moved.
Yardage points are also located at typical ball locations on the course, including hazards such as water and traps, to closely duplicate playing conditions. Instructions on the board and two sets of trap cards give a variety of possible recovery shots which can be expected.
A putting die gives the number of putts required to sink the ball after it lands on the green.
