Abstract: A golf putting game using a mat is shown and described. The mat is visually demarcated into a center penalty zone, two surrounding penalty zones, and two outermost reward zones, with a simulated hole in the center penalty zone. In a first phase of play, players attempt to propel golf balls across nearly the entire mat, from one outermost reward zone towards an opposed reward zone. Success elicits point awards. After a predetermined number of award points is attained, each player attempts to propel a golf ball into the simulated hole. Failure results in deductions from previously accumulated awards. That player having the highest score after deductions may be declared the winner.
