[Class 132 (ii).] Apparatus for playing a golf game of chance comprises the combination with a chart having the lies marked in different colours of a plurality of differently coloured dice, each die being formed from a sphere with a plurality of flats thereon. A chart C representing a golf hole is in board form or made of foldable or rollable material, e.g. of rubber or rubber-faced for carrying in the pocket, and is coloured or printed to show Tee T, Fairway F, Rough R, Bunkers B, Green G and Hole H. A number of lines, circles or apertures A are provided for each player to receive the equivalent of a ball, e.g. movable disc, model of a player, flag, peg &c. The moves of the players are governed by the throw of a die D or of a plurality of dice which may be coloured and used according to the position of the movable disc &c. on the coloured chart. The die D is in the form of a sphere with a considerable number of flat faces D<1> bearing indications as to the position to which the movable disc &c. is to be moved. Each face of the die may bear two indications. The die may be moulded or fashioned from any convenient material and the rounded portions D<2> assist in the rolling operation. The lid of a box carrying the apparatus may form the chart. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 391,190.
