ABSTRACT:
A novel golf playing field and a method of playing a golf-like game incorporate many of the features of standard golf, but do not attempt to simulate a standard round of golf. Rather, the present invention presents a new concept which is different from, while retaining the most enjoyable aspects of the game of golf. The playing field comprises a course with a fairway and a plurality of target greens positioned thereon in a predetermined pattern. At one end of the course is an expanded teeing area providing both practice and playing tees. Positioned on one side of the teeing area is a putting green, and on the other side is a combination sand trap and target green. A special target green is positioned on the fairway a pre-set distance from the teeing area and acts as a pitching green under a specific set of rules. Different color yardage markers are provided on the fairway, the color designating a target based on a player's skill level. Depending upon the par value of the hole being played and the outcome of a player's strokes, a player hits to either a colored yardage marker, a target green, or the pitching green. Putting is done exclusively on the putting green. Failure to meeting certain goals requires the addition of one or more penalty strokes onto a player's score. The method of play provided by the present invention allows a player to remain nearly stationary since all shots to the playing field are taken from the teeing area or the nearby sand trap. A special score card is provided for a player's strokes.
