Golf game

Abstract

An apparatus for playing a golf game based on the momentum of propelled golf balls. The apparatus includes a golf tee from which golf balls are hit, an upright target for halting the balls propelled from the tee, and a ball momentum determining and indicating package for providing a numerical momentum magnitude representation for each ball propelled toward the target with either tee or fairway type golf clubs. The ball momentum determining and indicating package includes a time sequence signal producing device for providing a discrete sequence of intermittent timed signals based on ball traverse time from tee to target, a numeric indicating device for translating the intermittent timed signals to provide ball momentum magnitude representation, a sensing device disposed with respect to the tee for activating the time sequence signal producing device when a ball is dislodged from the tee, and sensing units disposed with respect to the target for de-activating the time sequence signal producing device when a ball hits the target. For playing the game, each player hits a predetermined number of balls with each predetermined type of club. The resulting score of each shot is displayed on the numeric indicating device situated on a score table located at the golf tee area.
