  • Yard golf game apparatus
    Patent number: 5230511
    Abstract: A simulated hole apparatus for use in a golf-type game in which players strike a ball to propel it into the hole, includes a circular cup for receiving the ball, surrounded by a frustoconical flange that slopes downwardly and radially outwardly from the rim of the cup. A flag pole extends vertically upwardly from the center of the cup, and has a frustoconical base resting on the bottom of the cup. The frustoconical base of the flag pole and the sloped sidewall of the cup define an annular ball-receiving space between them, whose sides converge to trap a ball between them.One or more annular inserts and corresponding replacement flag pole bases can be provided to decrease the size of the ball-receiving space while maintaining a converging configuration for the walls of the ball-receiving space.

  • Yard golf game apparatus
    Patent number: 4878671
    Abstract: A game apparatus including a device for forming a simulated hole for a golf-type game in which players strike a ball to propel it into the hole. The device comprises a generally circular cup sized to receive the game ball, the cup having an opening generally in the center, and a generally frustoconical resilient flange surrounding the cup, the flange sloping downwardly and radially outwardly from the rim of the cup, the lower lip of the flange extending below the bottom of the cup in its uncompressed state. A flag pole for anchoring the apparatus is adapted to extend through the opening in the cup and embed in the ground below the cup. The flag pole includes a plug or other suitable structure for engaging the bottom of the cup to hold the cup down and compress the resilient flange to hold the lip of the flange against the ground.
