ABSTRACT:
A golf putting game which includes a housing having a horizontally elongated opening into which a standard golf ball can be putted. Horizontally spaced sensors positioned lengthwise of the opening within the housing sense the lateral position of a ball entering the opening. The sensors controlling a numerical display indicate a score based on the position of the ball laterally of the opening. A back plate stops the ball within the housing, and a sensor determines the force with which the ball strikes the back plate. The indicated score is modified if the force on the back plate exceeds an acceptable level. Successive groups of balls can be putted into the opening and the score for each ball within the corresponding ball in the successive groups can be accumulated and individually displayed to permit a number of players to play the game at the same time.
