A golf course (19) consisting of a plurality of holes is included, including the target cup (5) of. The various tee areas (1-3) are located at significantly different distances from the target green (4) and the various target cups (5) are spaced around the target green (4) to allow for a To accommodate a wide range of skill levels, multiple tee areas (1-3) and target cups (5) combinations are provided, with different trajectories associated across different terrains. Therefore, the player can directly compare the actual score at each hole and across the course without adjusting the score by handicap calculation. In the driving range (24), it is ensured that a ball launched from one drive / tee area (25-28) cannot reach the drive / tee area (25-28) at the opposite end of the target area. Included are two drive / tee areas (25-28) offset at opposite ends of a common target area, a distance sufficient to This driving range (24) utilizes only half the width of a conventional driving range containing only a single drive / tee area, and only a slightly longer length to accommodate a comparable number of players simultaneously. .

Description

Background 1 of the Detailed Description of the Invention simplified to eliminate the handicap score with golf facilities and methods invention. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to golf courses, and more particularly, to methods of substantially equalizing the difficulty faced by players of different skills and abilities in playing any hole in the course, and golf. A method for reducing the land area required for traditional golf facilities, including courses and driving ranges. 2. 2. Description of Related Art Although golf games are very popular in the United States and elsewhere, they suffer from a number of essential drawbacks. The series of glitches is due to the fact that different golfers can have vastly different playing abilities. Another drawback stems from the fact that traditional golf facilities require huge vacant lots. Golf play ability manifests itself in the ability to fly a golf ball far and the ability to accurately fly a golf ball. In general, if a player's driving accuracy is comparable, a player who can continuously fly the golf ball farther than other players will reach the target cup from the same tee area with less stroke. . Similarly, if the players have comparable distance capabilities, a player who can consistently place a golf ball with greater accuracy than other players will usually reach the target cup with fewer strokes. The ability of the first player to reach the target cup constantly with fewer strokes than the second player has at least two side effects. It is very unlikely that the second player will finish the entire course with less total strokes than the first player, thus competing between the players will be reduced, or the match will be exclusive to all strokes required. There is no competitiveness, assuming it is scored on the basis of The second side effect is that, assuming that the player traverses the course between strokes at about the same speed, the second player will constantly need more time to finish the same course as the first player. Is to do. Thus, a player with a lower skill level delays a player with a higher skill level. Currently, the lack of comparable skill levels between players when golf matches are scored can be mitigated by conventional handicap scoring systems. Two players with different handicaps can compare scores on a particular golf course by adjusting their total strokes by handicap and then comparing the adjustment results. One drawback to this scoring system is that handicap scoring is applicable to the entire stroke across the golf course and is not readily suitable for special scoring per hole. For example, it is customary for a group of players to bet on the lowest score for a particular hole. Having different handicaps among players in a group can be adjusted for different strokes across the course, but the handicaps aren't very useful, or perhaps even practical, in scoring a particular hole. Absent. In addition, handicap mitigates the lack of comparable skill levels between players, but does not mitigate the delays imposed by lower skill players on higher skill players. With respect to the second essential deficiency of golf, the need for large open spaces generally makes golf expensive and difficult to create traditional golf facilities. Traditional golf facilities include not only a series of 9 or 18 hole golf courses, but also practice putting greens and driving ranges. The putting green and golf driving range allow the player to practice their skills in preparation for playing the course. The putting green is usually quite small, but driving ranges are typically very large, proportional to the size of the entire golf facility. Thus, the inclusion of driving ranges and golf courses greatly exacerbates the problem of acquiring sufficient land for traditional golf facilities. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to mitigate the side effects due to different player abilities without dramatically changing the basic game of golf. Another object of the invention is to reduce the impact of different skill levels between players and to eliminate the use of conventional handicap scoring systems with the attendant drawbacks by playing balls on a per hole basis. Considering different abilities to fly far and accurately. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a traditional golf facility including a large-scale golf driving range. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, golf courses and methods are provided with either 9 or 18 "holes" of the type disclosed herein. In particular, each hole includes an initial tee area and multiple replenishment tee areas, a target green, an intermediate area consisting of an area between the initial tee area and the target green, and a side of the target green related to the tee area and a rear area. Boundary Green is included. The target green is typically displaced many yards from the tee area, and according to one embodiment of the present invention, an area of grass that is planted in close proximity, preferably containing more than one target cup. Consists of. Intermediate areas, and boundary greens, have varying surface topography, including mowed and uncut grass, and various contours including flat surfaces, valleys, and hills, and trees, water hazards, and debris. , And various obstacles including bunker. In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of refill tee areas are located in the intermediate area and are typically laterally offset with respect to an axis oriented between the initial tee area and one of the target cups. Therefore, all such tee areas will be on the target green to enclose significantly different terrain with respect to distance and trajectory to the target cup, and with respect to surfaces, contours, obstacles, and hazards to reach the target cup. Placed with respect to the target cup. Therefore, two players with different abilities to fly a golf ball far away and to accurately fly a golf ball tee off from different specific tee areas and aim at each tee area with regard to the level of skill involved. The tee area is organized so that it is possible to compete with equal difficulty requiring a directly comparable number of strokes to hit a golf ball into a particular target cup on the green. This simplifies the scoring method by requiring each player to count only the number of strokes by any handicap calculation without having to adjust the total score. The target greens are each around the target green such that the difficulty of hitting the ball into the cups in the mid-range and from any given position on the target green varies significantly between cups. Includes two target cups placed. Differences in difficulty can be demonstrated by the contours of the green section, bunkers, and hazards for each cup approach. At any particular hole, the player tees off one tee area and drives the ball into one tee cup. By providing multiple tee zones and two target cups, the present invention provides multiple combinations of tee zones and target cups per hole to accommodate such combinations to accommodate a wide range of player technologies. Introduces a wide range of related play difficulties. In addition to providing a golf course of 9 or 18 holes of the type disclosed herein, arranged in an orderly fashion, the present invention also includes one or more practice putting greens, and the disclosure herein. We also provide a golf driving range of the type. In particular, the driving range includes two separate drive / tee areas at opposite ends of the target area. Players are scattered along each drive / tee area, and each player generally hits the golf ball in the same direction as each other player in the same drive / tee area. The player in one drive / tee area faces the other drive / tee area, and the players in each drive / tee area aim the golf ball at a common target area between the two drive / tee areas. As skipped, the two drive / tee areas are located at opposite ends of the common target area. Of course, the drive / tee areas are displaced far enough apart so that a player who hits the ball from one drive / tee area cannot reach the other drive / tee area. This driving range allows the same number of players to fly golf balls at the same time, as with a typical driving range with only a single drive / tee area at one end of the target area. To do this, the driving range uses a land area approximately half the width of the land area required for a typical driving range. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view of one layout for one hole of a golf course according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a golf facility layout including a golf course and a plurality of holes for a driving range according to the present invention. 3A and 3B comprise plan views of another layout of a golf facility according to the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG. 1, in accordance with the present invention, including an initial tee area 1 and a target green 4 having a plurality of target cups 5 (a) and 5 (b) disposed therein. A preferred embodiment of a single hole on a golf course is shown. Replenishment tee areas 2 and 3 are located in the area between the initial tee area 1 and the target green 4, but are arranged off the axis of the trajectory line between the initial tee area 1 and the target green 4. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a total of three tee areas in accordance with the present invention, each tee area positioned at a substantially different distance from the target green 4, and one or more tee areas per tee area. It can also include a surface and a sub-tee area. Many typical golf course obstacles can be placed around and between the target green 4 and the tee area, including wood areas 6 and 7, water hazards 8 and bunkers 9 and 10. FIG. 1 illustrates an approximate strategy for reaching the target cup 5 (a) or 5 (b) from the tee area 1, 2, and 3. For example, player A teeing off the initial tee area will likely attempt to reach position 11 (a) on the first driver shot in the direction of target green 4. Similarly, player B teeing off replenishment tee area 2, perhaps attempting to reach position 3, will likely attempt to reach position 13 (a) on the first driver shot. In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1, a driver shot from the initial tee area 1 must fly about 270 yards and avoid the wood area 6 and fall from the target green 4 to the water hazard 8 side of about 200 yards. Ah Similarly, a shot from the refill tee area 2 would have to fly about 200 yards, clear the water hazard 8 and fall from the target green 4 to about 130 yards. Then, the shot from the refill tee area 3 will have to fly about 90 yards, face no obstacles and fall from the target green 4 to about 80 yards. Reaching location 11 (a) from the initial tee area 1 is arranged to be more difficult in terms of distance and consequent hazard than reaching location 12 (a) from the refill tee area 2. With respect to the distances involved, the difference is about 70 yards, and with respect to the required accuracy, to reach position 11 (a) avoid area 6 of trees and avoid water hazard 8, but You need to fall nearby. Therefore, the tee-off from the initial tee area 1 is positioned substantially close to the target green 4 and only needs to clear the water hazard 8 to reach position 12 (a). Established to be a difficult labor for more skilled players than the tee off. Similarly, reaching location 12 (a) from refill tee area 2 is more difficult than reaching location 13 (a) from refill tee area 3 both in terms of distance and necessarily the hazard involved. Thus, reaching position 13 (a) from refill region 3 requires less skill to fly over a shorter distance without any obstacles. FIG. 1 also shows an approximate strategy for the second shot for each of players A, B, and C, teeing off of tee areas 1, 2, and 3, respectively, as described above. Player A will likely attempt to reach the target green 4 in the second stroke, along a path or trajectory beyond the bunker 9. Player B will likely attempt to reach the target green 4 in the second stroke, along a path or trajectory that should avoid overrunning the bunker 10. Then, the player C will probably try to reach the target green 4 with the second stroke along a path or trajectory that avoids all obstacles and hazards. Thus, as described with reference to the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1, the balls of each player A, B, and C are not the same as the second one of each player, despite the wide variation in skill level of the players. Expected to be on target green 4 after the stroke. Reaching target green 4 from position 11 (a) is more difficult than reaching target green 4 from position 12 (a) because the former requires about 200 yards, while the latter requires This is because the shots are required only for 130 yards and the hazards associated with both shots are almost equal. Similarly, reaching target green 4 from position 12 (a) is more difficult than reaching target green 4 from position 13 (a), because the former takes a shot of about 130 yards that avoids hazards. Yes, while the latter basically requires no more than about 80 yards, with no hazard. Therefore, the terrain and trajectories associated with the tee-off from the initial tee area 1 or from the refill tee area 2 or 3 will change significantly, thus requiring no handicap adjustment of each score, and substantially Adapt to different levels of skill between players, all playing the same hole with the same number of strokes. According to another aspect of the invention, a plurality of target cups 5 (a) and 5 (b) are provided on the target green 4 to combine strokes and terrain for the plurality of target cups on the target green 4. Associated with tee regions 1, 2, and 3 to give a greater difference in. Therefore, by using three target cups on one target green for three tee areas that can be spaced by an increment of about 80 to 170 yards for one target green. Nine different difficulty levels are offered across terrain and trajectories, adaptable to a player's wide range of skill levels, yet nevertheless playing a hole with a comparable number of full strokes. According to yet another aspect of the invention, multiple sub-tee regions are provided within each region. For example, in FIG. 1, the initial tee area 1 includes sub tee areas 1 (a), 1 (b), and 1 (c). Similarly, the supplementary tee area 2 includes sub-tee areas 2 (a), 2 (b) and 2 (c). The initial and replenishment tee areas so that each tee area has a different relationship with the target green 4 with respect to the distance to the target green 4 and the obstacles, terrain, and hazards that it faces in reaching the target green 4. However, the sub-tee areas contained within a single tee area are such that each sub-tee area has its own relationship to the target green 4, just as it is displaced around the hole. , Displaced around its tee area. By providing multiple or sub-tee areas within each tee area, the present invention allows for a greater number of different levels of difficulty per hole implemented by the combination of tee areas and target cups. Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the overall golf facility according to the present invention, including golf course 19, putting greens 21 and 23, and driving range. Golf course 19 consists of 9 holes of the type shown in FIG. 1, which have the order of hole numbers # 1 to # 9 and are adjacent to the initial tee area of the next higher numbered hole. Organized as a typical golf course, with a target green for one hole and no holes overlapping any part of the terrain associated with any other hole. FIG. 2 illustrates that, according to the present invention, different courses of a golf course can consist of different numbers of tee areas. For example, the second hole includes five tee areas 25 and the third hole includes three tee areas 26. Also, each target green can include a plurality of target cups, as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows a driving range 24 that includes two drive / tee areas 27 and 28. The ball is hit at a point along the drive / tee area 28 and to the target area 29. Similarly, the player can tee up the ball to a point along the drive / tee area and fly the ball from the opposite end to the target area 27. To ensure that no player who hits the ball from the drive / tee area 28 will be able to reach the drive / tee area 27 with its driver shot, and vice versa. It is usually displaced over 350 yards. With the drive / tee areas 27 and 28 thus offset at the opposite ends of the drive range 24, the drive range 24 is a normal drive range that comprises only a single drive / tee area. It is half wide and can accommodate a comparable number of players at the same time. In this configuration, the 9-hole golf course, the practice putting greens 21 and 23, and the driving range can all be arranged within a small land area of about 50 acres. Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the overall golf facility according to the present invention, including golf course 31, putting green 32, and driving range 33. The golf course 31 consists of 18 holes of the type illustrated and described with reference to FIG. 1, where each of the 18 holes has consecutive holes numbered # 1 to # 18 and is Adjacent to the initial tee area of the numbered hole, it is organized as a typical golf course, with no holes overlapping any part of the terrain associated with any other hole, with the target green for one hole. It Each target green for a hole includes a plurality of target cups, and each target cup is associated with a selected area of the plurality of initial and refill tee areas for the hole, as described above. The golf range 33 is formed substantially as illustrated and described above with reference to FIG. In this configuration, the 18-hole golf course 31, the practice putting green 32, and the golf practice range 33 can all be arranged on a small land area of about 100 acres. Accordingly, the game according to the present invention retains most of the features and aspects of a standard game of golf, while at the same time providing handicap scoring, lack of competitiveness, delayed play, and vast land requirements for golf facilities. Eliminate or reduce standard match-related issues or inconveniences, including sex. By providing multiple tee areas and multiple target cups for each hole, the present invention allows players of different abilities to play the same hole and face equal target cups. This is possible for the following reasons. This is because the tee area and the target cup are arranged such that each separate tee area and target cup combination presents different degrees of difficulty in striking the golf ball from the tee area into the target cup. Since players of different abilities will face the same individual difficulty level for each hole, each player will, on average, complete each hole with the same number of strokes. This allows players of different abilities to finish in the same step not only on each hole, but on the entire course without having to use a handicap scoring system. This will also allow all players to finish each hole on average in approximately the same amount of time. When playing the game of the present invention, a group of players who play the course together advance to the initial tee area as a group when playing a specific hole. Any player in the group who will tee off from the initial tee area will make an initial driver shot from that area. After those players have completed their initial driver shots, the group moves to the next closest replacement tee area, where some players in the group will tee off. When played in this way, the group will eventually arrive at the target green at approximately the same time. The present invention reduces the amount of land required for a driving range by about half the area, thereby obtaining the problem of acquiring a large amount of land for a golf course and a traditional golf facility including a driving range. Reduce. The present invention accomplishes this area reduction by providing drive / tee areas at opposite ends of the driving range. In this way, the driving range according to the invention is adaptable to the same number of players as a conventional driving range, which has only a single drive / tee area at one end of the driving range, but Use only half the width of a good driving range, and a little larger than that.

[Procedure of Amendment] Article 184-8 of the Patent Act [Submission date] April 21, 1995 [Correction contents]   Currently, comparable technical levels between players are used when scoring golf matches. The lack of bells can be mitigated with a traditional handicap scoring system is there. Two players with different handicaps are handicapped To adjust the total number of strokes for each and then compare the adjustment results. You can compare scores on golf courses. This scoring system One drawback to is that handicap scoring is Applicable to all barrel hits, making it easy to give a special score per hole Is not suitable. For example, a group of players may It is normal to bet on the lowest score for a game. Players in group Different handicaps may mean different total strokes across the course. Adjustable, but the handicap is the score for a particular hole When it comes to sticking, it's not very useful and probably not practical.   In addition, adding a handicap is equivalent to a level of skill between players. Less skill, but a less skilled player It does not reduce the delay imposed on layers.   For golf's second essential flaw, the need for a huge vacant lot is , In general, make golf expensive and difficult to create traditional golf facilities. Make it difficult. Traditional golf facilities are golf courses consisting of a series of 9 or 18 holes. Not only su It also includes wing greens and driving areas. Putting green, And the driving field, in preparation for the player to play the course, It becomes possible to practice the skill. Putting greens are usually quite small However, driving areas are typically very large, in proportion to the overall size of the golf facility. Kii. Therefore, including driving areas and golf courses is a traditional It greatly exacerbates the problem of getting enough land for Ruff facilities.   Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to dramatically change the basic game of golf. , To reduce side effects caused by different player abilities. Other of the present invention The purpose is to mitigate the effects of different skill levels between players and have the attendant drawbacks. To eliminate the use of traditional handicap scoring systems that Consider different abilities to fly the ball far and accurately based on each rule It is to be. Yet another object of the present invention is to a greater extent than traditionally required. Offers traditional golf facilities, including large driving areas, on a very small land area It is to be.                             Summary of invention   In accordance with the present invention, a golf course and method are provided which include a nine-pointed Will be offered one of 18 "holes". Especially, each hole has an initial tee Areas and multiple additional tee areas, target greens, initial tee areas and target greens An intermediate area consisting of areas in between, and the side of the target green associated with the tee area, and A boundary green consisting of the area behind is included. The target green is usually the tee area Many yard positions have been offset from, and, according to one embodiment of the invention, preferably 1 It consists of an area of lawn planted in close proximity, containing more than three target cups. The middle area, and the boundary green, each include pruned and unpruned grass, Variable topography of the seed surface and a variety of contours including flat surfaces, valleys and mountains , Trees, water hazards, debris, and various obstacles including bunker.   According to the invention, a plurality of additional tee areas are arranged in the intermediate area and the initial tee area is Axis, typically transverse to the axis oriented between the area and one of the target cups. The position is shifted.   Therefore, all of these tee areas will affect the distance and trajectory to the target cup. And surface, contours, obstacles and hazards to reach the target cup Placed on a target cup on a target green to encircle a very different terrain It is. Therefore, the tee area causes the golf ball to fly farther, and the golf ball. Two players with different ability to accurately fly from different tee areas Tee off and test each skill with the technical level To hit the golf ball from the target area to a specific target cup on the target green It is possible to play on the same difficulty level that requires a number of strokes that can be directly compared. Wear. This allows each player to make a total calculation of any handicap. Only the number of strokes required to be counted without the need to adjust the score By doing so, the scoring method is simplified. The target green is in the middle area , And hit the ball into the cup from any given position on the target green Around the target green so that the difficulty of doing so can vary significantly between cups. Includes two target cups each located at The difference in difficulty is The approach to the group, the outline of the green part surrounding each target cup, and It can be revealed by the arrangement of boundary green obstacles such as sand and sand. Similarly, reaching position 12 (a) from the additional tee area 2 is Additional tee area 3 to location 13 (a) for both necessarily containing hazards Harder to reach. Therefore, reach position 13 (a) from additional area 3 In order to fly over shorter distances without any obstacles do not need.   FIG. 1 also shows tee off from tee areas 1, 2, and 3, respectively, as described above. Yes, for each of Players A, B, and C The measures are also shown. Player A is probably on a path or track that has crossed bunker 9. Along the way, you will try to reach the target green 4 on the second stroke. Step Layer B is a path or trajectory that should probably avoid overrunning the bunker 10. Will attempt to reach the target green 4 on the second stroke. Soshi Player C will probably avoid all obstacles and hazards, or Along the trajectory, the second stroke will attempt to reach the target green 4. Therefore, as described with reference to the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1, each player A, B, Despite the wide range of player skill levels, the C and C balls Expected to be on target green 4 after each player's second stroke You. Reaching the target green 4 from position 11 (a) is from position 12 (a) It's more difficult than reaching target green 4, because the former is about 200 The latter, while the latter only requires a shot of about 130 yards, and both This is because the hazards associated with one shot are almost the same. Similarly, position 12 (a ) Reaching target green 4 from position 13 reaches target green 4 from position 13 (a). Harder to reach, because the former is about 130 yards to avoid hazards Shots, while the latter is about 80 yarders, basically without hazards. This is because only the shot is needed. Therefore, from the initial tee area 1, Or, the terrain and trajectories associated with the tee off from the additional tee area 2 or 3 are significantly , So there is no need for handicap adjustment for each score, Between players who can play all the same holes with virtually the same number of strokes Adapt to different levels of technology.   According to another aspect of the invention, a plurality of target cups 5 (a) and 5 (b) are The combination of strokes, which is provided on the green 4 for varying difficulty, and And associated with tee areas 1, 2, and 3 to give greater difference in terrain Attached. Tee areas 1, 2, and 3 can each be associated with one of them. is there. Multiple target cups on Target Green 4. Therefore, about one target green Three tee areas that can be spaced apart by increments of 80 to 170 yards By using three target cups on one target green for the zone, Nine different difficulty levels are offered across different terrains and trajectories to help players Adaptable to a wide range of changing technology levels, nevertheless all straws You can play one hole with an equal number of ku.   According to yet another aspect of the invention, a plurality of sub-tee regions are provided within each region. It is. For example, in FIG. 1, the initial tee area 1 is the sub tee area 1 (a), 1 (b) and 1 (c) are included. Similarly, the additional tee area 2 is a sub tee area. 2 (a), 2 (b) and 2 (c). Regarding the distance to the target green 4, And the obstacles, terrain, and hazards facing to reach Target Green 4. So that each tee area has a different relationship with the target green 4, Just like the additional tee area is displaced around the hole , Each sub-tee area has its own relationship with the target green 4, The secondary tee area contained within the tee area of the Is done. The present invention is provided by providing a plurality or sub-tee areas in each tee area. Is more than per hole, implemented by the combination of the tee area and the target cup. Allows different levels of number difficulty.   Referring now to FIG. 2, golf course 19, putting greens 21 and 2 Golf according to the present invention, including 3 and driving ground A preferred embodiment of the entire facility is shown. Golf course 19 is illustrated in FIG. The initial tee area of the hole with the next higher number, consisting of 9 holes of the type Adjacent to the area, it has a target green for one hole and is associated with any other hole. Constructed as a typical golf course with no holes that overlap any part of the continuous terrain Is made. FIG. 2 shows that according to the present invention, different courses of a golf course have different numbers. It shows that it can consist of the tea area. For example, the 2nd hole has 5 te The third hole includes three tee areas 26. Also each eye The target green can include a plurality of target cups, as shown in FIG. FIG. Are two drive / tee areas 2 installed at opposite ends of a common target area 29. A driving field 24 including 7 and 28 is shown. Player is drive / tee Tee the ball up to a point along the area 28 and bow to the target area 29. Can fly. Similarly, players can move along the drive / tee area. Tee up the ball to a certain point and fly it from the opposite end to the target area 27. You can skip. Players who fly the ball from the drive / tee area 28 No one can reach the drive / tee area 27 with that driver shot, Drive / tee area 27 to ensure that it is also unreachable. And 28 are offset to more than 350 yards apart. Driving Drive / tee areas 27 thus offset at opposite ends of field 24. And 28 allow driving area 24 to be from a single drive / tee area only Become normal It is half the width of the driving field and can accommodate a comparable number of players at the same time. is there. 9 holes golf course and practice putting green 21, 23 and driving area are all within a small land area of about 50 acres Can be placed at.   Referring now to FIG. 3, golf course 31, putting green 32, and A preferred embodiment of the entire golf facility according to the present invention including a driving site 33 and a driving place 33 is shown. Have been. The golf course 31 is of the type illustrated and described with reference to FIG. It consists of 8 holes, where each of the 18 holes is numbered from # 1 to # 18.
