Abstract
A card game to be played in conjunction with a game of golf includes a set of golf game cards. Each card further includes an instruction for a player in the game of golf. The instructions in the set of cards direct actions by a golfer toward himself or toward a second golfer. The set of cards may also be used as a deck of poker cards. An information sheet, included with the set of cards, provides rules for the golf card game.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to card games, and more specifically to a card game to be played in conjunction with a game of golf.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Card games have been played for centuries. From the common playing cards we all know, with 52 cards in four suits, to specialized card games like Old Maid and Uno®, we have all seen and played many of these games. Cards have been incorporated into indoor board games, where the cards are used frequently as items of luck or chance. However, the skillful or thoughtful use of cards in conjunction with physical or athletic competitions is virtually unknown.
- Numerous cards games have been created to simulate such physical or athletic events, but they simply simulate the events, often augmented by dice or other number-oriented devices.
- Thus, what is needed is a way to combine playing cards into physical and athletic activity events, especially the game of golf. A golf card game solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The device is a golf card game system and method, which is designed to be played by golfers in conjunction with and during an actual game of golf. In one embodiment, the golf card game includes a deck of 52 cards in the same size, shape and format as standard poker playing cards and instructions for play, but with a difference. Each card includes an instruction to be followed by the golfer holding that card.
- Numerous other variations exist within this framework, involving both skill and chance, particularly for players who are closely matched.
- Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to disclose a card game that is played in conjunction with a physical or athletic event.
- It is another object of the invention to teach a card game that is played in conjunction with a golf game.
- It is a further object of the invention to disclose a golf card game that incorporates elements of skill, chance or both.
- It is yet another object of the invention to teach a golf card game that includes a standard deck of poker cards.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a front view of a card for a golf card game in accordance with the present invention. - The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention.
- The device is a golf card game system and method, which is designed to be played by golfers in conjunction with and during an actual game of golf.
-
FIG. 1 shows a sample card from the deck of the golf card game. The card resembles an ordinary playing card, including asuit 10 and ahierarchical value 12. Thesuit 10 andhierarchical value 12 shown inFIG. 1 are clubs and queen, respectively. In one embodiment, the golf card game includes a deck of 52 cards in the same size, shape and format as standard poker playing cards and instructions for play, but with a difference. Each card also includes aninstruction 14 to be followed by the golfer holding that card. In another embodiment, the cards have onlygolf game instructions 14, without anysuits 10 orhierarchical values 12 of poker cards. - Before the golf game is started, the cards are dealt to the players evenly. Each golfer plays a card at each hole. Upon completion of the task stated on the card, the golfer discards the card and may not play it again during the game. Each golfer plays his hand until all the cards are discarded. Many variations to this are possible.
- One variation is for the golfers to play each card in order, sight unseen until drawn, relying purely on chance. The card is discarded after that hole, even if the card is not applicable to that hole. Another variation is for each golfer to review his hand and play each card selectively, as the player sees fit, relying on skill and strategy to overcome or minimize any penalties included on the cards.
- Numerous additional variations are possible, including a limitation on the numbers of cards that can be used per game, per hole, consecutively or other variations that become evident upon playing a game of golf.
- Each card has an instruction that must be followed when that card is selected. The number of different instructions possible is virtually limitless, but common golf-oriented instructions are usually the most appropriate.
- The instructions on the cards are mostly self-explanatory, but a few comments are offered here for clarification. The instructions found on the cards include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
- “You must play from the back tees on this hole”
- “Your opponent must play from the back tees on this hole”
- “Wild Card!” The Wild Card permits the golfer to take an action directed by one of his cards or one of his opponents' cards.
- “Your opponent must take his last putt over” This card is particularly useful if your opponent has made a very difficult putt. The golfer can determine if his opponent was lucky or skillful.
- “You may trade shots with your opponent” If your opponent makes a great tee shot, it's now to your advantage.
- “What a deal! You play from the ‘red’ tees on this hole” The red tees are typically the shortest tee shot; a great advantage for the golfer.
- “Mulligan time! Take your last shot over”
- “Free shot! You may take your last putt over”
- “You must play this hole with a 5 iron except for putting”
- “Free drop from a sand trap”
- “You may pick up your ball and throw it”
- “Free drop from a water hazard”
- “You may trade this card with any of your opponents' cards”
- “Putt this hole left-handed”
- “Your opponent must putt this hole left-handed”
- “Add one stroke to your score for this hole”
- “Change your opponent's club—wood for wood iron for iron”
- “Subtract one stroke from your score on this hole”
- “You may move your ball up to the best drive on this hole”
- “Behind a tree? Move your ball out in
front 10 paces” - “You must tee off with an iron”
- “Your opponent must tee off with an iron”
- “You may move your ball from the rough to the fairway”
- “Add one stroke to an opponent's score”
- While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. The accompanying claims are intended to cover such modifications as would fall within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
