Abstract
Abstract A golf game including a board carrying a pictorial representation of an 18 hole golf course, shot charts for indicating various positions on each golf hole and a chance selection device (such as a die) for advancing the golf ball along the course. A first set of three charts respectively correlates various positional changes on respective par 3, par 4 and par 5 holes to rolls of a die. A second set of 18 charts, respectively corresponding to play on individual holes, permits the player, at his option, to alter his shots by reference these charts following a second roll of the die.
