ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for playing a lawn game of entertainment comprises a plurality of generally upright targets, a plurality of balls, and a plurality of mallets for striking the balls. In addition, a plurality of boundary stakes are used to establish the boundaries of play on a playing surface. Each target has a base and an elongated upright, with the base being positioned on the playing surface or lawn and the upright formed to be retained slidably in a generally vertical position on an upwardly extending portion of the base. Preferably, each player of the game has three balls and a mallet, which is used for striking the balls to selectively advance each ball across the playing surface and into contact with selected uprights. Each upright is retained slidably on its base to normally be maintained against tipping, but when a ball contacts the upright with sufficient force, the upright tips and slides off of the base onto the playing surface.
