Abstract

An adjustable end board for use in a ball game comprises a vertical back wall and two vertical sidewalls. Preferably the sidewalls are of adjustable length, e.g. telescopic, and are attached to the back wall by hinges. The apparatus is placed on the ground such that the sidewalls and back wall define a playing area. The playing area may be increased or reduced in size by extending or retracting the sidewalls. In use, a jack ball is rolled into the playing area defined by the board. Players then attempt to knock the jack against the back wall using a set of golf balls and a putter.

Knock ons are allowed.

The remaining players can also score a point if they knock their opponent's ball onto the JIB board without their ball touching the JIB board. If both players balls touch the JIB board they are both removed and placed behind for scoring At the end of each game the balls behind the JIB board are counted, if the balls are equal there are no points but for instance if there are 2 red balls and I yellow ball the yellow gets I point - the balls behind the JB board are penalty points.

If no one knocks the black ball onto the JIB board the nearest ball to the black ball wins the point. One point is also scored if you knock your opponents ball on to the JIB board without your ball touching the JIB board otherwise both balls are removed.

   CLAIM STATEMENT
