  • Patent number: 4239217
    Abstract: An indoor table game resembling golf employs a precision hand-operated playing apparatus including a wheeled maneuver unit, a connected actuator assembly, and an animate figure operated by the actuator assembly and holding interchangeable striking clubs for a lightweight game piece in the form of a ball. The game is preferably played on a game course embodied in a table-mounted movable strip. The feet of the inanimate figure are self leveling. A pair of spring-biased wheel fenders are provided to lock the wheeled unit in a fixed location on the playing course. The upper section of the inanimate figure may be driven as a right or left hand golfer and, in each case, the simulated head of the inanimate figure is driven to rotate in a natural follow-through mode. The game requires practice and skill in order to obtain proficiency.
