MARSHALL WHITLATCH, on WESTFIELD, {NEW JERSEY. INDOOR-GOLF any: APPARATUS- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented at. so, 1906.
Application filed November 26, 1904. Serial No. 234,187.
To (all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MARSHALL WHITLA'ICH, a citizen of the United States, residing atWestiield, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful improvements in indoor-Golf Game Apparatus, of which the following is a specification. The object of my invention is to provide a complete game of indoor-golf which may be more boards may be used.
played by one or more players in the house. I do this by the combination of golf-boards, disks, and asmooth-surfaced block with aspindlc attached to it and an arrow painted on the block with the arrow-head pointing to the spindle.
1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows one of the golf-boards representing one hole of the game. Fig, 2 shows, one of the disks, the numeral 5 showing on of the sections into which the disk is divided. Fig. 3 v 4 center of the disk, so that it can be placed,
shows the block with the spindle and arrow on it. Fig. ts hows another of the golf-boards, the game being played with a plurality of boards. Fig. 5 shows another of the disks.
All of the. sections of the disks bear indications'of the stroke made, and the game is played with a plurality of disks.
The game is played by the combination of the golf-boards, peg, disks, and the block and spindle with the arrow on it. The golf-boards represent the links of the golf-course, and each board represents a hole to be played. In Fig. 1 the numeral 1 shows the squares into which the course is blocked out. The numeral 2 shows the perforations made at the intersection of the squares. The numeral 3 shows the peg to be inserted into those perforations, and the numeral 4 shows the circle bounding the territory governing the use of the disk called the mashie. 1n playing the game one or It is my present intention to make a nine-hole course a game; but I do not limit myself to any particular number of golf-boards, as the game may be played with any number of boards. Each golf board is blocked out or divided into squares, each square representing a space ten yardssquare for the purpose of locating the golf-ball on the course. These squares cover the entire golf-board, and at the points of intersection of each square a perforation is made, as shownby numeral 2 in Fig. 1, so thata peg may be inserted to locate the position of the ball on the golf-board after the shot has been played. The lines forming the boundary-lines of these squares also make forward and side lines which are also-used in locating the distance and. direction of the shot, as hereinafter more fully explained.
The disks represent the different golf-clubs used in the game, each disk indicating a certainclub with the name of that club upon it.
The use of the disks is governed by a set of rules accompanying the game telling when each disk or club is to be played. Each disk is divided into sections, and these sections indicate the kind of stroke made, the distance obtained, and the direction of the shot. The number of disks is not limited, and there may be as many disks used as there are diiferent kinds of golf-clubs. In the printed rules accompanying the game I have given the direction for using the driver, brassie, cleek, mid- .iron, niblick, mashie, and putter, these being the clubs used in an ordinary game of golf.
' The disk is made round with a hole in the upon the spindle and spun round. The block with the spindle and arrow upon it (shown in Fig. is a smooth block made of wood, metal, or other suitable substance, with a spindle attached to the block for the purpose of spinning the disks around it and an arrow painted on the block pointing towardthe spindle.-
The game is started by placing the first disk to be used upon the spindle, the use of the disk being governed by the distance to be played and the nature and character of the ground to be played over and provided for by a set of rules accompanying the game. The disk is. then spun around the spindle by hand and the section of the disk toward which. the arrow points when the disk stops spinning indicates the stroke which has been made by that club, together with the distance made and the direction of the shot. The golf-board then comes into use and a peg which represents the golfball is then inserted into the perforation in the golf-board, as indicated by the directions on the section of the disk. The place on the the golf-board is found by the use of squares blocked off on the board, each square repre' senting a space ten yards square. Starting from the driving-tee the number of yards made by the shot, as indicated by the section of the disk spun as above described, is counted out by the means of these squares and the peg is inserted in the perforation, which is located the inumber of yards to the right or left of the center forward line of the course, as is also indicated by the section of the disk IIC stopping in front of the arrow. In counting the number of yards made on the board you use the forward lines to show the distance of the shot and the side lines to show the number of yards to the right or left which the ball went, as shown by the disk. The peg is then inserted in the perforation indicating that spot, and this shows the position of the ball after the shot and the position from which the next shot is to be played. The disk to be used in playing the next shot is governed by the printed rules of the game, and this disk is spun as before and the .ball is located after the shot has been made by figuring the distance to the right or left, as shown 'by the disk, from the forward line on the golf-board in which the peg was inserted when the shot was made. The-other disks are similarly spun and the shots are similarly made until the player has reached a square within the territory bounded by the circle numbered 4 on the golf-board. (Shown in Fig. 1.) The disk representing the club called the mashie is then used, and the number of shots required to reach the putting-green will be shown by the section of this disk stopping in front of the arrow. After the peg has .been inserted upon the putting-green the disk representing the putter is then placed upon the spindle and spun in the manner described above, and that section of the disk which stops in front of the arrow will indicate the number of shots required to get the ball into the hole on the puttinggreen. After one hole has been finished the same method is employed in playing each succeeding hole.
y The combination in an indoor-golf game apparatus, of circular disks divided into sections to indicate the stroke; a smooth block with a spindle upon it, round which these disks are spun and an arrow painted on the block point- 35 Having thus described my invention, what ing to ward 'the spindle; together with one or more golf-boards, each board containing one of the holes of a golf-course painted upon it; the blocking off of the golf-boards into squares with small holes or perforations made at all of the intersecting points of these squares into which is. placed a peg to locate the position MARSHALL WHITLATCH.
