Abstract
An apparatus is constructed utilizing electromechanical devices only, for use as a game apparatus, whose rules of operation imitate those of golf, and whose action is responsive to skill of the operator. The apparatus is formed of a display unit on which a simulated golf ball travels a distance over a display of a golf course in response to the striking by a user with a golf club of a captive golf ball mounted on a driving range unit of the device. The simulated golf ball is mounted to a belt that is driven by a first motorized unit at a fixed speed of travel and for a period of time controlled by a momentum device connected by a flexible cable to a pivoted lever fixed to the captive golf ball.
