Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a scoring area in which a plurality of ring-shaped marks are concentrically provided around a cup provided on a green and an arbitrary score is set between each ring-shaped mark. The present invention relates to a golf competition facility in which the skill of play can be finely scored at each stage of the competition depending on which scoring zone the green-on ball stops at.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional standard golf course, 18 courses are provided during one round starting from a play starting position and proceeding to the play ending position. In each course, a fairway as a course of play and weeds as obstacles grew between the tee ground where the ball was launched and the green where the grass was cut to drop the ball. There are water hazards with obstacles such as rough water and ponds, and bunker which is covered with sand in the depression. The competition rule is that among the groups of several competitors, the one who has completed the final course cup-in with the fewest number of strokes shall be the winner, or two competitors shall decide the game for each course. The player who advanced the play and won the most courses was the winner. Then, for each course with a different length, set the number of strokes required for a player with standard skills to make a cup-in (this is called "par"), and set this "par" number, By comparing the number of strokes of each player, the degree of skill of each course can be self-scored.

Nowadays, even among general Ichihito people, golf enthusiasts have grown enthusiastic about golf, and many maniacs have no choice but to spare their spare time to improve their playing skills.
However, it is not possible to go frequently because it takes a considerable amount of time and money to go to a full-fledged golf course in the suburbs. On the other hand, a mere batting practice area in the suburbs of the city is not very useful for improving the skill of responding to actual battles. Or, even if you think of this type of practice area as a mere leisure facility, the content of the play is too monotonous and unattractive. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the technique to be used on a full-fledged golf course with less time and cost, and as a mere leisure facility, human beings have the aspirations and the ability to play brain. The purpose is to provide a facility for golf competition, which has a character intermediate between a full-fledged golf course and a golf hitting practice range, so that it can satisfy advanced challenges and enjoy advanced competition.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, a golf competition facility according to the present invention has a plurality of ring-shaped marks 20, each having an arbitrary shape, in an area surrounding a cup C on a green G, 30 are provided concentrically, and the markings I, II, and III having different scores are provided between the respective ring-shaped marks. The plurality of ring-shaped marks 20, 30
It is advisable to place a mat, which has a predetermined size and shape and constitutes the green G, on the playground 100, and to provide it on this mat made of artificial turf or the like by a coating means or the like. Also, multiple courses 1 to 1 that make up one round
At least one of the two courses should be bunker except for the green part.

[0005]

A plurality of ring-shaped marks 20 and 30 provided concentrically around the cup C form a plurality of scoring areas I, II and III, each of which has an arbitrarily set score. For that reason,
By deciding which scoring area the ball will settle in when the green is turned on, and by devising various scoring methods, it is possible to make detailed comparisons of the merits and demerits of each course. If the ring-shaped mark is provided on a sheet having a size corresponding to the green, for example, artificial turf by a coating means or the like, the ring-shaped mark does not easily disappear even if the player is placed outdoors and the player frequently steps on it.
At least one of the multiple courses that make up one round is a bunker except for the green part, which makes it extremely difficult to take shots from sand.
You can do a lot during the round competition and hone your skills early.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The golf competition facility according to this embodiment is provided in an air dome type indoor stadium or the like, and as shown in FIG.
2 courses 1-12 are provided. And each course,
The distance from the tee shot line t of the tee ground T provided on the start side to the cup C on the green G provided on the end side is 30 yards for the first course 1, 100 yards for the second course 2 and the third course. 3 is 30 yards, 4th course 4 is 140 yards, 5th course 5 is 40 yards, 6th course 6 is 85 yards, 7th course 7 is 90 yards, 8th
Course 8 is 25 yards, Course 9 is 60 yards, Course 10 is 120 yards, Course 11 is 9
5 yards, and the 12th course 12 is set to 50 yards.

In this embodiment, all the greens G of the respective courses 1 to 12 are made of a mat, which is placed on the playground 100, in this case, artificial grass. Each green G is formed in a circular shape, and a plurality of, in this case, two ring-shaped marks 20 and 30 that concentrically surround the cup C provided in the middle thereof are provided by spray painting or the like. The size of the green G is appropriately set for each course. As an example, in the course shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameter of the green G is 18 m, the diameter of the inner ring-shaped mark 20 is 6 m, and the outer ring-shaped mark 20 is 6 m. The diameter of the mark 30 is 12m
Is set to.

The inner circular area of the inner ring-shaped mark 20 is referred to as a first scoring area I, and the annular area surrounded by the inner and outer ring-shaped marks 20 and 30 is referred to as a second scoring area II.
An annular area between the outer ring-shaped mark 30 and the outer peripheral edge of the green G is defined as a third scoring area III.

The first role of each of the scoring areas I to III is to set a scoring standard of skill when competing for an iron approach, and the second role is a scoring standard of putting skill on the green G. Is to set. When competing for the iron approach skill, it is more difficult to turn the green on closer to cup C than to the place far from cup C. In this case, the score when green on the innermost first scoring area I Is 15, for example, the score when green-on the outermost third scoring area III is 5, and the score when green-on the intermediate second scoring area II is 10.

On the other hand, when competing for putting on the green G, putting is far more difficult than the place closer to the cup C, so when putting a putt score to evaluate the putting skill, the third scoring area is used. The score for hitting a green-on ball on III is 15, the score for hitting a green-on ball on the first scoring area I is 5, and green on the second scoring area II in the middle area. When the hit ball is hit, it is decided that the score is 10. The above scores and points are easy to remember by marking each marking area I-III of the artificial turf mat with a number mark or by coloring each marking area I-III with different colors. Put it in.

Of the 12 courses 1-12, 3,
All three courses, 5 and 8, except for Green G, are made up of bunkers so that the skill of bunker shots can be improved efficiently. Of course, the number of courses is not limited to three, and the number and scale may be arbitrarily determined when designing a golf course.

Next, an example of how to use this competition facility will be described. For example, a team of 4 players and 1 instructor forms a team. The progress of play is
Basically, the conventional play rules are followed. However,
The number of pars for all 12 courses 1 to 12 is determined to be 3, and the total number of pars for one round is 36.

Therefore, first, a method of playing the iron approach will be described. In order to practice as many tee shots as possible by the end of one round, unlike the conventional competition rules, the number of tee shots for each course is not limited to one, but two consecutive tee shots. Select one of the balls that can hit the ball and are in a more favorable position in favor of the play, and then proceed to the subsequent play. However, since the fairway part is also a bunker and it is difficult, you can hit three balls in succession in the three courses 3, 5, 8 of 3, 5, 8 and select one of them. And decide. Therefore, in this competition stage, the ability to judge the situation regarding the landing position of the ball and the like can be enhanced based on the advice of the instructor. In addition, by the end of one course, you can practice shots in a difficult bunker efficiently enough not to compare with the conventional course.

The green-on skill can be scored for each course depending on which of the first to third scoring areas I to III the green is on. As a method of assigning a score, for example, a value obtained by dividing the set score (15, 10, 5) in the scoring area where the ball is green on by the number of hits required until green on is entered. As an example, if you hit three times and green on the scoring area II, 10/3
・ It is written as 3.3.

Next, a method of putting on the green G will be described. The characteristic of the competition in this case is the scoring method. That is, as described above, unlike the iron approach, the set score of the scoring areas I to III is set to a higher score in the scoring area farther from the cup C (in this case, called a score). .. For example, in the case of green-on to the third scoring area III by the iron approach,
This ball has 15 points. Then, the score in the case of cup-in with 2 bats is recorded as 15/2 · 7.5 in the score in the same manner as in the case of the iron approach.
In other words, the higher the skill, the higher the score.

In the above structure, the number of ring-shaped marks 20 and 30 provided on the green G is not limited to two, and the shape is not a perfect circle, but may be oval, elliptical or any other shape. You may choose an irregular shape. Further, as a method of providing the ring-shaped mark on the green G, if the green is natural grass, for example, a desired mark shape is drawn with colored sand, or a polygonal ring-shaped mark is assumed, and Various methods are possible, such as implanting a pin as a mark at the apex. And, of course, the number of courses forming one round and the scale thereof may be appropriately designed according to the situation of the place where the competition facility is provided.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, various excellent effects as listed below can be obtained by using the golf competition facility of the present invention. (A) You can develop various playing techniques that can be used on a full-fledged golf course, which cannot be done on conventional hitting practice areas. (B) Compared to a formal golf course that requires a vast site, a much smaller site is sufficient, so it can be installed in the suburbs of a city or in an urban area, and while saving a lot of time and money going to a golf course, However, it is possible to obtain a training effect similar to or even better than the official course. (C) As in the past, in addition to deciding the game competition by the total number of strokes when finishing the cup-in on the final course, it is divided into iron approach and putting by each play for each course. Since the play skill can be finely scored, it is possible to reasonably and efficiently polish the skill that can be used on the official golf course while analyzing the score result. (D) By devising various scoring rules that use multiple scoring areas concentrically provided on the green centering on the cup, the enjoyment of using a human-specific brain
It can be expanded in various ways. (E) Since a special course consisting of bunkers except for the green is provided, it is possible to efficiently polish the difficult bunker shots by just going through one round. (F) Even if it is used as a leisure facility rather than as a practice facility to prepare for playing on the official golf course, you can fully enjoy the play that satisfies the aspirations peculiar to humans by setting complicated scoring rules. You can
