  • Patent number: 4761009
    Abstract: A golf ball game wherein a housing is provided with slots for receiving a golf ball therethrough. A ball return floor panel rearward of the slots communicates with a ball receiving floor panel positioned forwardly of the slots. The ball receiving panel includes a first lane section which is upwardly inclined so as to slow a putted ball entering the ball receiving panel, and a second lane section which is downwardly sloped so as to allow the putted ball to actuate a signal device for indicating which of said slots is entered by a putted ball. The signal device includes a plurality of lights wherein a single light is in overlying position to each of the plurality of slots and the plurality of lights are of various colors to indicate different levels of accuracy. A movable plate is associated with each slot for sensing the weight of a golf ball to actuate a microswitch and the single light associated therewith.
