Golf putting game kit and method

Abstract

A golf game including a ball, a first pin, and two second pins, the pins being disposed co-linearly on a putting surface, one second pin on either side of the first pin. A method of playing the golf game including placing the ball on the putting surface at a starting point, standing the first pin and the two second pins on the putting surface at a first distance from the ball, striking the ball with a putter to cause the ball to roll towards the pins, and scoring “one” if the ball knocks down only the first pin, “two” if the ball knocks down the first pin and one or both of the second pins, “three” if the ball knocks down only one of the second pins, or “four” if the ball fails to knock down any pins.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of the priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 901,557, filed on Feb. 15, 2007.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a golf putting game for recreation and for practicing golf and improving putting skills.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Numerous golf putting games are known. Some putting games challenge the accuracy of putting aim of a golfer but they do not simultaneously challenge the accuracy of putting force of a golfer. Most putting games include some method for scoring, often simulating actual golf scores in their counting methodologies. Many of these putting games are complex or use equipment that is not readily portable or relocatable from one place to another, or require the use of a particular putting surface. Some of these putting games include automatic scoring and therefore require a supply of electricity.[0004]Accordingly, it is desirable to provid...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention provides a method of playing a golf game comprising the steps of placing a generally spherical ball on a putting surface at a starting point, standing a first pin on the putting surface at a first distance from the ball, standing two second pins on the putting surface substantially aligned co-linearly with the first pin in a pin line preferably substantially perpendicular to a line extending between the ball starting point and the first pin, and striking the ball with a putter to cause the ball to roll towards the pins.

Problems solved by technology

Some putting games challenge the accuracy of putting aim of a golfer but they do not simultaneously challenge the accuracy of putting force of a golfer.

Many of these putting games are complex or use equipment that is not readily portable or relocatable from one place to another, or require the use of a particular putting surface.
