  • Patent number: 4260157
    Abstract: A golf game playable in an area of reduced size but closely simulating regulation golf using an enlarged ball having a scuff-resistant outer shell and a single dual faced golf club. The golf club has a head defining a first blade or ball striking surface which is curved or inclined to impart various degrees of loft to the ball depending on the location along the blade surface at which the ball is struck. The club head is provided with a second striking surface at the front edge of the first surface which is used for imparting a low, long distance trajectory to the ball as when driving the golf ball and which surface may also be used for putting the ball towards the target pin. The object is to advance the ball into a cup or specially designed target pin. The target pin includes a circular base ring which defines the target area and the base also supports an upstanding pin carrying an indicia bearing flag.
