Abstract

Abstract An indoor golf putting game having a series of elongated relatively narrow putting greens, each with a cup at one end, laid out upon a horizontal surface. The putting greens have variously curved contours built upon the lower horizontal surface. The spaces between the putting greens are level. The entire area, including the spaces between the putting greens, is covered with a carpet to simulate the grass upon an outdoor golf putting green. Markers are placed at the entrance end of each putting green, with information thereon as to the number of the hole, and the number of strokes that is par for the hole. A removable panel, bearing indicia indicating the length of the putting green, is secured to each marker by a dovetail joint. The game is played with conventional golf balls and putters such as are used for outdoor golf.
