ABSTRACT:
A novel golf playing field for a golf-like target game. Although the playing field incorporates many of the features of standard golf including golf clubs, golf balls, a fareway, teeing areas, a sand trap, a putting green and target greens, the present invention is not an attempt to faithfully simulate a standard round of golf. Basically, the invention includes a playing field comprising a course with a fareway 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. Positioned on the other side of the teeing area is a combination sand trap and target green. A special target green is positioned on the faraway a pre-set distance from the teeing area and acts as a pitching green under a specific set of rules. Several differently colored yardage markers are provided on the fareway. The color of each marker is used to designate a target based on a player's skill level. Depending on the par value of the hole being played and the outcome of a player's strokes, a player will be hitting to either a colored yardage marker, a target green, or the pitching green. Putting is done exclusively on the putting green adjacent the teeing area.
