Abstract: A compact golf course which is formed of a series of holes which are formed by a plurality of hole groups. Each hole group includes a par three hole and a par four hole and a par five hole. Each par three hole has its own putting green with the par four hole and par five hole of each said hole group sharing a separate putting green. The direction of play of each par three hole is in substantial alignment with the direction of play of the par four hole of its hole group. The direction of play of the aligned par three hole and par four hole of each hole group is located substantially parallel to the direction of play of the par five hole within the hole group.

Abstract: A golfer's stance alignment tool in the form of a sheet material plate which is to be placed on the ground directly in front of the feet of the golfer during the time that the golfer is practicing the golf swing. The inner edge of the plate has recesses for positioning the golfer's feet therein. The outer linear edge of the plate includes a rounded protrusion that is to be used by the golfer to aligningly position the head of the golfer prior to initiating the golf swing and during the golf swing. The flat plate includes a straight horizontal line indicating to the golfer the directional path and movement of the golf club when making the golf swing. The template also includes a circle representation of a golf ball located between intersecting pairs of vertical and horizontal lines to indicate to the user a golf ball placement area.
