Abstract

A golf putting game comprises a board including a number of putting greens, a ball (fig.5), a putting club (fig.2), a putting top (fig.3) to randomly determine the number of attempts a player has to putt the ball and a set of question cards having answers on a separate sheet. The putting greens may form the word "Puttrivia".

Description

A The Invention is a Game Background A Game is competitive and a popular activity which requires time, skill and knowledge and encourages social interaction and enthusiasm and give people the opportunity to spend their leisure time with each other in a positive way. Many games have developed to become specialised sporting activities which provide competitors with the impetus to develop greater potential and dedication when the winner of events are rewarded with prizes.

The Putting Club is the instrument the player will use to drive the ball from a spot at one extreme end of the letter into a hole at the other extreme end of the said letter on the Putting Green. There are nine letters ; a number on a flag identifies each one. Each game has a pack of cards with questions and the answers on an answer sheet There are Putting Clubs, Putting Balls, Putting Tops, Flags, a set of PUTTRIVIA rules, a set of Display Cards with questions and a set of answers to the questions on an answer sheet The specific features of the Game will now be described.

The Game Board comprises a set of letters formed in a unique pattern of the word PUTTRIVIA.

Each letter of the word PUTTRIVIA is so spaced allowing the free flow of a ball within it on the Putting Green. The Putting Hole is at one extreme end of the Putting Green for the ball to be driven into by the player for a successful Putt from a spot on one end of the Putting Green with a Putting Club. The Ball is round and the flags are placed in numerical order from 1 (one) to 9 (nine) identifying each stage of the sequence of the game. The player will spin the Putting Top provided in the game to secure the maximum attempts to which he is entitled to Putt the ball within that specific Putting Green. There is a pack of Display Cards with questions in picture form and phrases for a player to answer. A successful answer gives the player the control of the game.
