ABSTRACT:
Short flight golf is played with a ball 10 having a spherical foam body 11 approximately the size of a regulation golf ball for hitting with regulation golf clubs. Foam body 11 is formed of reticulated resinous veins 12 and includes a central core 15 that is smaller and lighter than a regulation golf ball. Reticulated veins 12 are severed at the spherical exterior 14 of foam body 11 and have a sufficient void volume in the region between core 15 and severed exterior 14 so that air moves through the voids 13 between veins 12 as ball 10 flies through air. This air movement relative to reticulated veins 12 produces sufficient aerodynamic drag to limit the flight of ball 10 to preferably 60 to 70 feet. A short flight golf course for play with short flight ball 10 preferably includes several fairways approaching a single green 20 from different directions and distances over which short flight ball 10 is played to a lie on green 20 whereupon a regulation ball is substituted for putting.
