ABSTRACT:
A golf game comprises a base which is formed as a ramp covered with a carpet to simulate the green of a golf course. A ball is tethered by means of cord to the control stick of a joystick controller. A "pull-to-close" switch is incorporated in the cord so that data on the position of the control stick when the cord is taut can be fed to a computer in order to calculate the trajectory and distance of a drive. Putting practice can be obtained by use of a free ball which is putted into a hole formed in the base and provided with a microswitch which closes when the ball enters the hole. A computer program for game play or practice is described.
