Thisinvention relates to games and involves golf principles, the primary object of the invention being to provide a game board representing a golf course, a game piece representing clubs' used in the` usual golf game, and a puck representing the golf ball. y

Another object of the invention is to provide a game piece used in striking the puck wherein the person playing the game may with a degree of accuracy cause the puck to stop' at a predetermined position, thereby eliminating, to a great extent, the element of chance.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which 'will appear as the description proceeds, the inventlon resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de.- scribed and claimed, it beingv understood that changes in the precise embodiment ofthe invention herein disclosed, may bemade within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invenion.

Referring to the drawing; n Figure 1 is a plan view of a` game board used in the playing ofv a game constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the game piece used in connection with the game board and'employed for striking the uck. 1 p Figure 3 is a modified form of game piece wherein the support is` made to simulate a person.

Referring to the drawing in detail, reference will be had to Figure 1 which illustrates a lan view of a golf course including nine holes, but it is to be understood that the size of the board may be varied Jto include eighteen holes, without departing fromV the spirit of the invention.

The reference character 5 indicates generally fairways of a golf course which are extended along the face 6 of tliegame board in any suitable fashiomthe same having a tee 7 at one of the yrespective ends thereof and a green 8 at the opposite end of each fairway` A i f f The reference tcharacter 9 indicates a stream or lake which passes from one end of the game board laterally to .cross` several of the fairways, the space'- indicated at59 constituting arhazard, to the endI that should' the puck to be hereinafter more fully deynected with the arms and medium of the tubular flexible member 21.

scribed, stop within the confines of the lines employed in defining the lake or stream, or should the puck have any portion thereof resting in the` space, the layer will be penalized two strokes, whi e if the `puck lands in the wide portion labeled lake, the player will be penalized three strokes.

The reference characters 10 and 11 indicate bunkers along the fairway which result in a penalty of one stroke to the player should Ithe puck land in one of these spaces.

The game piece forming an important feature of the invention 1s shown more clearly by Figure 2 of the drawing, and includes a main supporting rod 12 and a base 13 which may be held into engagement with the game boardby the fingers of the operator by using-the fingers of his left hand in a manner as illustrated by Figure 2.

At the upper end of the rod is a downwardly extended portion 14 to which the tubular tiexible member 15 is secured, the same being formed preferably of rubber.

Positioned within one end of the connect- Ving member 15 is a club 16 having the head 17 at its free end, the head being shaped similarly to the shape ofl a putter used in playing golf. p As illustrated by Figure 3, the supporting portion of the game piece indicated at 18 is in theform of a person, the arms 19 thereof supporting the club 20 which is also conhands through the The reference character 22 indicates the l puck used in connection with the game piece,

which puck is struck by the club head in playing the game.

In playing the game rules governing the usual golf game are carried out, that is to say the puck is placed on number 1 tee and the player uses the game piece in a manner a's illustrated by Figure 2 hitting the puck to drive it along the fairway, the object being to reach the green with as few strokes as possible. it` being necessary for the puck to lie withinithe confines of the circle inholed-out.
