AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a tailgating game that can be easily transported using straps and handles attached to one or both platforms. It also has a target that can be lit up with LED lights or a "glow-in-the-dark" material to play the game at night.

Problems solved by technology

However, a golf course is often a distance from a person's home, and private courses require a membership.
This may deter many from playing on a golf course.
Also, some people may desire to hone their golf skills, but are unable or unwilling to travel to a golf course to work on one particular aspect of their game.
Golf is also a game that requires a tremendous amount of practice and skill.
The average person cannot easily learn the game and become proficient; rather, it takes years of practice.
Even with years of practice, it can still be an extremely frustrating endeavor that deters some from attempting to play in the first place.
Also, there are no straps that enable the connection assemblies to be transported in a fashion similar to a backpack.
Therefore, it is difficult and cumbersome to transport two separate connection assemblies.
Further, there is no way to alter or change the set ups of the targets.
The game disclosed also requires a golf ball to play, which can be a difficult projectile to hit for an unskilled competitor.
This makes assembly, disassembly, and transportation an issue.
The game disclosed also requires a golf ball to play as well, which again may be a difficult projectile to hit for an unskilled competitor.
