Abstract: A system and method for viewing artificial reality (AR) messages on a golf course, where the messages are geo-referenced artificial reality words or symbols to indicate distances, tips, targets or other information to the golfer. Typically, the AR messages are geo-referenced to a fixed location on the golf hole, such as a hazard or green. Using the spectator's chosen location as the viewing origin, an artificial reality message or object is inserted into the golfer's perspective view of the golf hole. Outings and contests can be held even if the matches are separated by hours or days, and outcomes and information published to select groups or individuals.

Abstract: A pin for a lawn game includes a shaft portion that includes a first end and a second ground contact end. The pin further has a first fence part that is fixedly attached to the shaft portion and radially extends outwardly from the shaft portion and a second fence part that is rotatably attached to the shaft portion and radially extends outwardly from the shaft. The second fence part is sized such that at least a portion of the second fence part is disposed within confines of the first fence part. The second fence part is rotatable relative to the fixed first fence part to allow the second fence part to be positioned at a desired angle, including a right angle, relative to the first fence part. The pin also has a flag disposed at the first end of the shaft portion.

Abstract: A form for constructing a thrower's circle includes a pair of half sections. Each half section has an upper surface and a base surface and two full length members and two half length members. The full length members and the half length members are connected together substantially at right angles to form a rectangle with four corners. A corner brace is located in each of the four corners. An inside cross member and an outside cross member extend between the half length members and are generally parallel to the full length members. A pair of semi-circles, each having substantially the same diameter that is larger than the length of the half length members and less than the length of the full length members. Means are provided for securing the half sections together so that the semi-circles form a full circle. Tubes extend from the circle toward the base to drain water from with in the circle.

Abstract: A method for conducting and scoring a golf video game, comprising determining the number of strokes it takes a team to complete a golf hole, wherein the team comprises of a plurality of players collectively playing one ball, allowing at least one player to take a strategic position further down the golf course ahead of where the ball is being played, and basing a score on the number of strokes the team collectively takes to complete the golf hole.

Abstract: A method for installing a thrower's circle in the ground of an athletic field includes assembling a form for constructing a thrower's circle dimensioned for a player throwing at least one of a hammer, a shot put, and a discus from a plurality of sections having mounted thereto a plurality of arcuate portions. When the plurality of sections are assembled together, the plurality of arcuate sections together form a full circle, and wherein a portion of the plurality of sections is disposed outside the full circle and a portion of the plurality of sections is disposed inside the full circle. The method further includes excavating the ground, placing the assembled form in the excavated ground, placing cement in the assembled form, and allowing the cement to dry.

Abstract: A method for training for improving a user's play of a golf short game by providing first and second trajectory targets at different heights and with first and second visual attributes, and providing first and second distance targets with the first and second attributes respectively. A first golf shot is hit through the first trajectory target at the first height at a first trajectory. A second golf shot is hit through the second trajectory target at the second height with a second trajectory. The user associates the first attribute with the first trajectory and the second attribute with the second trajectory. The user then attempts to hit a third shot to the first distance target having the first attribute using the first trajectory and a fourth shot to the second distance target having the second attribute using the second trajectory.

Abstract: A golf putting game that will test a player or players skill while attempting to putt a ball on a floor like surface into a uniquely shaped putting cup. The player or players will take turns putting from one (1) of five (5) different hole location markers towards the uniquely shaped putting cup and receive a score according to the rules of play. Each hole location marker represents two (2) holes, except the 9th hole which is singular location marker. The game will include a score pad with columns for a player or players names, score per hole, distance between the hole location markers and the putting cup and a total score of the game for each player. Rules of Play and game set up sheet along with a golf ball and pencil are also included in the game package.

Abstract: A golf-like, short-hole, pitch-and-chip target game has an elongated course of predetermined length and width and at least one lie location at one end of the course and at least one sand trap that is divided into at least first and second divisions, the first division having a first scoring value and the second division having a second scoring value wherein the sand trap is located a predetermined distance from the lie so that a chip shot or a pitch shot of a ball from said lie can land in one of the divisions of the sand trap which has a sand composition such that a ball falls essentially dead upon striking the sand.

Abstract: Millenn Golf is a recreational form of golf played indoors or outdoors in a yard, field, gymnasium or basketball court or other hard surface, in which players use ordinary golf clubs to strike the Nium Flyer from a portable strip of synthetic turf, causing the Nium Flyer to fly toward a goal called the Netty Millenn in the fewest number of strokes until the Nium Flyer lands in and rests in the Netty Millenn. Each player then removes the Nium Flyer, places it on the synthetic turf and proceeds to repeat the game process completing the course as determined by the players and/or the game master. The object of the game is to complete the course in the fewest strokes as possible as in regular golf. The player with the fewest strokes, as in regular golf, is the winner. Millenn Golf is an economical, portable and flexible form of golf which can be enjoyed by people of differing ages in all types of weather, even indoors.

Abstract: The present invention provides new golf courses and new methods of playing golf. The golf course has a golf ball hitting area used for a plurality of golf holes. A plurality of target greens are spaced at various distances from the golf ball hitting area. A target chipping area is provided adjacent the golf ball hitting area. A putting green is also adjacent the golf ball hitting area. A variety of simulated hazards, such as water hazards and sand traps, may be provided on the golf course. The golf course may be portable. The golf course is played by selecting a target green and shooting for the selected target green. The distance the golf ball traveled is subtracted from the distance to the target green and the remaining distance is used to select the next target green to complete the golf hole.

Abstract: The present invention is a pitch and putt lawn golf game that can be played by persons of all ages, and golfers and non-golfers alike. The game comprises a series of hole markers and a golf ball, a putter, and a wedge for every player playing the game. Alternatively, the game may also comprise a set of irons in place of or in addition to the wedge, and/or a scorecard and pencil or other marking device. To play the game, a golf ball is pitched and putted through a series of hoops, just as a series of holes is played at a golf course. There are many benefits of the invented game: ease of play; teaching the rudimentary skills of golf; refining a player's short game skills; short time required to play a “round”; the ability to be used on virtually any lawn; flexible course layout; challenge; portability; requires no holes to be cut in the lawn; and the ease of setting the game up and taking the game down.
