ABSTRACT:
A portable golf game to be played with conventional golf balls and golf clubs comprises nine targets adaped to be randomly positioned on an ordinary lawn to thereby provide the player with targets for putting or chipping a golf ball. The targets define a ring-shaped opening adapted to permit a ball to pass therethrough. A single support rod extends perpendicularly from each target and is adapted for insertion into the ground. A sign having a first side and a second side is rigidly attached to each target. The first sides of the signs are consecutively numbered from one to nine while the second sides are consecutively numbered from ten to eighteen. Each sign is numbered so that the sum of the numbers on its first side and its second side equals nineteen. To play the game, the player places a golf ball on either side of the target having the number six affixed thereto and thereafter hits the golf ball toward the target numbered one in an attempt to hit it through the target. Prior to hitting the ball, the player rotates the target so that the opening therein always faces the ball. Play continues in this manner until all of the targets numbered one through eighteen are traversed in order. The player with the least amount of strokes after traversing all eighteen targets wins the game.
