Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of playing a golf-type game, and more specifically to a golf game emphasizing exclusive play of only short game golf shots to comprise Par 3, Par 4 and Par 5 golf holes.
  • Amateur golfers primarily play at outdoor courses, and they practice at outdoor driving ranges, which allow practice of golfs long game, but do not provide focused practice of golfs short game which comprises as much as two-thirds of the shots in a typical round of golf. While there are driving ranges for long shots, and practice greens for putting, there are few opportunities for golfers to practice their short game skills, such as pitches, chips and bunker shots. While short "executive" courses and “par 3" courses are available, there are few games directed specifically to short game skills or which provide for playing and practicing short game skills in a competitive and entertaining environment.
  • This invention provides a golf -type game emphasizing the use of only short game golf shots such as pitches, chips, putting, and bunker shots, providing play and practice of these skills in a competitive and entertaining environment, and providing a game that is entertaining in its own right.
  • Conventional golf hole play is designed to hit shots for each hole on the premise of the longest shot first, then a subsequent shorter shot, then an even shorter subsequent shot, then, if needed, an even shorter subsequent shot, until the ball reaches the intended green to be putted.
  • at least one embodiment of a method for playing a golf type game is provided that is unlike conventional golf and other golf type games.
  • One embodiment of a method comprising a plurality of golf holes, wherein each golf hole comprises a plurality of non-putting short-game golf shots followed by play at a separate putting area, and the number of short-game golf shots for each golf hole is determined by the par of the golf hole.
  • a plurality (preferably 9 or 18, paralleling traditional golf) of golf holes are played (preferably par 3, par 4, and par 5 hole play, paralleling traditional golf), and where the scoring is comprised of strokes taken for striking at a ball, and of penalty stokes.
  • Each of these golf holes comprises one or more short shot holes, and/or at least one putting hole, where, in the preferred embodiment, there is a first short shot hole followed by at least one subsequent shot hole (wherein at least one subsequent shot is longer than the previous shot), and then the putting hole.
  • Each short shot hole and putting hole preferably has a primary starting point and one or more secondary starting points.
  • the primary starting point is preferably more favorable/less difficult than the secondary starting points, for example having a more favorable surface (e.g., shorter turf), or having a more favorable location (e.g., a shallower bunker).
  • Each short shot hole also has a target green area with at least inner and outer zones, and each putting hole preferably also has a target on the putting green, which is preferably a cup.
  • Play on each golf hole begins with play at the first short shot hole's primary starting point where the ball is hit toward the first short shot hole's target green area. Scoring for this first short shot hole is accomplished. Play proceeds at the subsequent short shot hole comprising the golf hole, and preferably depends upon the result of the initial hit attempt of the ball at the previous hole, that is, the resting position of the ball after the first hit attempt on the preceding short shot hole, e.g., whether the first hit attempt on the preceding short shot hole came to rest, or not, within a specified target green area. This determination establishes the starting point surface type from which the ball is played at the subsequent short shot hole.
  • the ball Upon determination, the ball is positioned on the appropriate surface type at the starting point, and the player attempts to hit the ball toward the specified target green area for this subsequent short shot hole.
  • This subsequent short shot hole play sequence repeats until the last short shot hole is a putting hole in which the player attempts to put the ball into the cup.
  • the scores from each short shot hole comprising the golf hole are tallied to establish the golf hole's totaled score. Play proceeds to the next golf hole until all of the golf holes comprising the golf game have been played.
  • one embodiment of this invention can optionally penalize the inability to have a ball come to rest within at least one of the outer zones adjacent to the specified target green area; and, one embodiment of this invention can optionally penalize the inability to have a ball come to rest within at least one of the outer zones of the specified target green area within a predetermined number of strokes; and, another embodiment of this invention can optionally penalize the inability to have a ball come to rest within at least one of the inner zones of the specified target green area within a predetermined number of strokes.
  • the short shot holes are played entirely from the plurality of starting point areas, with the players not proceeding to continue hitting the same ball that they hit out of each starting point toward the specified target green area. They hit from the starting point of a short shot hole, they establish their score for that short shot hole according to where the ball leaving the starting point comes to rest, along with any associated penalty strokes, then, they move to the starting point for the next short shot hole comprising the golf hole. In another embodiment, the players continue playing the same ball for a short shot hole, after the first hit, to try to get the ball within at least one of the inner zones of the target green area.
  • a combination of playing only from the starting points of each short shot hole, and continuing to play the same ball on a short shot hole are used.
  • players play and score a golf game that emphasizes short game golf skills such as pitching, chipping, putting, and bunker shots, that provides play and practice for these types of golf shots, and is competitive and entertaining in its own right.
  • Various embodiments of the methods of this invention reward accuracy on the first attempt to hit a ball toward a target green area for a short shot hole by allowing play at the immediately following subsequent short shot hole to be taken from a more favorable tee location, such as a more favorable surface or a more favorable location.
  • Various embodiments also punish inaccuracy by providing for penalty strokes when the hit ball does not successfully come to rest within at least one of the adjacent outer zones of a target green area; or, when the hit ball does not successfully come to rest within at least one of the outer zones of a target green area in a predetermined number of strokes; or, when the hit ball does not successfully come to rest within at least one of the inner zones of a target green area in a predetermined number of strokes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une technique de jeu de golf consistant à jouer sur des trous de golf, chaque trou de golf permettant une pluralité de coups de courte portée, et disposés en trous de coups de courte portée individuels. Le type de surface du tertre de départ à partir duquel le jeu commence pour un joueur sur tous les trous de coups à courte portée ultérieurs (au moins un des trous de coups à courte portée ultérieurs étant à une plus longue distance que le trou de coup de courte portée précédent avec un trou de golf) dépend et est déterminé par la position d'arrêt de la balle du joueur après la première tentative de frappe de la balle du tertre de départ vers la zone cible du green appropriée au niveau du trou de coup à courte portée précédent. Certains tertres de départ sont faits de gazon avec des sections de différentes longueurs, certains sont faits de sable avec des sections de différents niveaux, et certains sont faits de fosses de sable avec des sections de différentes profondeurs. La technique de l'invention consiste ensuite à frapper une balle au moins une fois avec le club de golf en commençant par un premier tertre de départ vers une première zone cible formée d'au moins une zone interne et d'une zone externe, jusqu'à ce que la balle soit frappée avec succès, et s'arrête dans les zones appropriées associées au trou à coup de courte portée, ou jusqu'à atteindre un nombre maximal prédéterminé de frappes. La technique consiste ensuite à continuer avec le trou de coup de courte portée suivant, avec le trou de golf, et à commencer à partir d'une pluralité de points de départ en fonction de la position d'arrêt atteinte par la balle du joueur après la première tentative de frappe de la balle vers la zone cible du green de l'étape précédente. Chaque trou de golf se termine par un trou de coup de courte durée de putting au cours duquel le joueur frappe la balle avec un club de golf à partir d'une pluralité de points de départ, en fonction de la position d'arrêt atteinte par la balle du joueur après la première tentative de frappe de la balle vers la zone cible du green au cours de l'étape précédente, au niveau d'une zone cible du green jusqu'à ce que la balle se trouve dans le trou de la surface cible du green, ou jusqu'à atteindre un second nombre maximal prédéterminé de frappes. Les fautes peuvent être évaluées par rapport à la précision de frappe du joueur et par rapport au nombre de tentatives de frappe faites par le joueur au niveau de chaque trou de coup de courte durée.
