ABSTRACT:
A table-top golf game provides a game board, clubs, and balls, yielding a three-dimensional nature of play simulating that of conventional golf. The board has multi-textured surfaces as playing holes for golf, which include simulated greens, fairways, rough, water hazards and sand traps, and a plurality of tee areas located at varying distances from the greens in order to provide a variety of par three, four and five holes. The clubs have faces of varying angles to achieve shots of varying distances and heights; and, with the exception of the putter, the clubs are spring actuated and may be manipulated to cause various types of shots and trajectories of the game ball. The putter is manually actuated to provide maximum feel to the putting stroke. The ultra light balls have a density of only about 1.3 to 1.7 pounds per cubic foot, and an exterior surface of frictional character such that the combination gives the balls the ability to take advantageous backspin when properly struck, providing air-flight trajectory to all shots and causing the balls to stop or jump backwards, when alighting on the greens. The balls thus achieve and require a realistic playing technique when struck by the game clubs, thereby providing a challenge of directional and distance accuracy of shot making to a miniaturized, air-flight, three dimensional simulation of a full scale game of golf.
