Method of playing a golf game

Method of playing a golf game description/claims

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/961,100, filed Jul. 19, 2007. The disclosure of the above-referenced application is incorporated herein by reference.

This invention relates to operational methods which orchestrate, for the players and competing players of this invention, play of, and flow between, the short game golf shots comprising each virtual golf hole of this invention.

Traditional golf course play requires a player to traverse to where each golf shot is hit before they can view the hit ball result and proceed with their next shot for the golf hole. Furthermore, in this traditional framework, a player is not able to observe remote competitors' performance in real-time. The methods of this invention counter and transcend these limitations.

This invention provides operational methods specifically designed and incorporated for golf course-type games which emphasize the use of only short game golf shots such as pitch, chip, putt, and sand and turf bunker shots. These operational methods are enabling and transitional tools for the play and practice of golf holes constructed, in their array of integrated combinations, to comprise the full complement of par golf holes (i.e., Par 3, 4 and 5 holes, at the least), or virtual golf holes, and where the number of short-game golf shots for each golf hole is established relative to the par of the golf hole. In addition, these methods transcend geographic location constraints for competition by facilitating real-time remote player-interaction (visual and audio) golf course competition, shot-by-shot.
