Abstract

Abstract A novel golf game is provided which is the combination of the following three elements. (a) A game board laid out as a scaleddown facsimile replica of a ''real'' golf course and including thereon two sets of indicia disposed adjacent the tee and the green respectively, the indicia of each set being visually distinguishable from each other, and the indicia of each set having a common characteristic which renders them visually distinguishable from the indicia of the other set, thereby to provide a plurality of positively premarked and predetermined positions representative of the positions of a golf ball during ''real'' play of the game of golf, and designating unique positions of the disposition of all game pieces. (b) Game pieces representative of golf balls adapted to be moved manually to be disposed at a unique directed one of said plurality of positively premarked and predetermined positions on said game board in a manner analogous to that of the disposition of golf balls during the ''real'' play of the game of golf. Finally (c) a plurality of dice, each die bearing indicia on the faces thereof different from those on conventional dice but being identical with those of a different one of said sets of indicia on said game board, the casting of a single selected die directing the manual placing of the game pieces to a position which is representative of a ''real'' golf stroke.
