  • Patent number: 4123058
    Abstract: A horizontal circular disc is disposed upon and is manually rotatable about the center of a square shaped horizontal top. A depressed central circular area of the disc simulates the green of a hole of a golf course and has an offset depression simulating the cup. The outer annular area is divided into a plurality of sectors of like area by radial lines. Each sector has a differently contoured top surface with roughened and smooth sections simulating the arrangement of different holes other than the green. Flat like horizontal ring shaped members (raceways) each have a plurality of spaced balls (ball bearings) therein, each ball being individually rotatable therein and having a bottom portion which extends below the member and engages the top surface of the disc when the member is place therein. Each member is dimensioned to fit into the depression and simulates a golf ball. A start position is marked on the table top. Each player in turn strikes his member with his finger to move his "ball" along the course.
