Method of playing a golf game

Claim 1

from said teeing position identified as a par-5 hole, the hitting of a first ball elevated on a tee to a forward approach green area and the hitting of a second ball from a grass portion of said teeing area to another forward approach green area which is closer to the teeing area than the forward approach green area used as a target for said first ball, the placing of a third ball onto said rearwardly located putting area without the counting of an additional stroke if said first ball and said second ball land on both of said forward approach green areas and said third ball is placed a distance from the putting hole approximating the closer of the two distances of said first ball and said second ball from said holes on said forward approach green areas, and the putting thereof until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the chipping of a third ball and a fourth ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball and said second ball fail to land on said forward approach green areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or sAid fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a third ball and a fourth ball from said sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area if said first ball and said second ball land in said forward sand trap areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or said fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a third ball from a sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area and the chipping of a fourth ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area if said first ball or said second ball lands in a forward sand trap area or fails to land on said forward approach green areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or said fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole.

Claim 2

A method of playing a golf game on a course comprising a teeing area including a plurality of sequentially numbered teeing positions, means associated with said teeing positions for further identitying three of said teeing positions as the tee-off positions for a par- 3, par - 4, and par- 5 hole, respectively, a forward field of play located forward of the teeing area and including a fairway area, a plurality of approach green areas each of which includes a hole therein, and a multitude of hazards including sand trap areas, water areas, rough grass areas and undulating terrain areas; and a rearward field of play located rearward of said teeing area generally in alignment with the Longitudinal axis of said fairway area and including a chipping area, a putting area with a plurality of holes therein numbered to correspond with the sequentially numbered teeing positions, and a multitude of hazards corresponding generally to the hazards in said forward field of play and including sand trap areas, steps which include, from said teeing position indentified as a par- 3 hole, the hitting of a first ball from a tee to a forward approach green area, the placing of a second ball on said rearwardly located putting area without the counting of an additional stroke if said first ball lands on said forward approach green area and said ball is placed a distance from the putting hole approximating the distance of said first ball from said hole on said forward approach green area and the putting thereof until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the chipping of a second ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball fails to land on said forward approach green area and the putting of said second ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a second ball from said sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball lands in a forward sand trap area and the putting of said second ball thereof until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole; from said teeing position identified as a par-4 hole, the hitting of a first ball elevated on a tee to a forward approach green area and the hitting of a second ball from a grass portion of said teeing area to a forward approach green area which is closer to the teeing area than the forward approach green area used as a target for said first ball, the placing of a third ball onto said rearwardly located putting area without the counting of an additional stroke if said first ball and second ball land on both of said forward approach green areas and said third ball is placed a distance from the putting hole approximating the closer of the two distances of said first ball and said second ball from said holes on said forward green areas, and the putting thereof until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the chipping of a third ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball or said second ball fails to land on said forward approach green areas and the putting of said third ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a third ball from said sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball or said second ball lands in a forward sand trap area and the putting of said third ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole; from said teeing position identified as a par-5 hole, the hitting of a first ball elevated on a tee to a forward approach green area and the hitting of a second ball from a grass portion of said teeing area to another forward approach green area which is closer to the teeing area than the forward approach green area used as a target for said first ball, the placing of a third ball onto said rearwardly located putting area without the counting of an additional stroke if said first ball and said second ball land on both of said forward approach green areas and said third ball is placed a distance from the putting hole approximating the closer of the two distances of said first ball and said second ball from said holes on said forward approach green areas, and the putting thereof until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the chipping of a third ball and a fourth ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said putting area if said first ball and said second ball fail to land on said forward approach green areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or sAid fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a third ball and a fourth ball from said sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area if said first ball and said second ball land in said forward sand trap areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or said fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole, the blasting of a third ball from a sand trap area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area and the chipping of a fourth ball from said chipping area located rearwardly of said teeing area to said rearwardly located putting area if said first ball or said second ball lands in a forward sand trap area or fails to land on said forward approach green areas and the putting of the closer of said third ball or said fourth ball until said ball drops into said appropriately numbered hole.
