Abstract

Abstract A golf putting frame game device is used on a flat surface to play golf putting games and features uniform rebounds of playing balls from the interior sides of the frame. The frame is provided with a capturing device in the form of a flexible cord which is stretched across a corner of the frame. Multiple supports are provided to anchor the ends of the cord at different locations which permit the size and shape of the capturing device to be varied. Uniform rebounds are provided by cushions on the interior walls of the frame. A multitude of games can be played utilizing rebound combinations with or without a capturing device attachment. The game device also includes a cushioned corner insert which may be positioned across a corner of the frame when it is desired to block any access to the capturing device in that corner.
