ABSTRACT:
A game having a contoured game board on which a miniature game ball is moved by manual manipulation. A map depicting in miniature the playing field of a particlar sport is also provided. Movement of the ball on the contoured board is translated onto the map in scale to simulate the playing of the particular sport on the miniature playing field depicted on the map. According to the preferred embodiment, the particular sport simulated is golf and the present invention allows the playing of golf on any properly scaled miniature golf course map, by making shots on a convexly contoured shot board upon which a struck ball will roll, duplicating the line of flight of a real golf shot, into slots designated as to the distance and direction of the shot depending on the golf club chosen. These slot designations correspond to scaled markers which transfer the shot as to distance and direction onto the properly scaled miniature golf course map. The slots on the shot board also represent holes on the golf course greens and markers on the board determine the difficulty and distance of the putt to be made.
