Golf like game with multiple projectiles

USPTO Application #: 20070202962
Title: Golf like game with multiple projectiles
Abstract: An equipment set and golf game are provided. The equipment set includes at least one golf club and a plurality of balls. The balls are designed to travel differing distances or be putted. Thus, each shot includes a ball selection and, in some cases, a club selection. (end of abstract)

[0001] This application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/359,331, filed Feb. 5, 2003, titled PRACTICE SPORT PROJECTILE HAVING A THROUGH HOLE, which claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/359,415 filed Feb. 23, 2002 entitled AERODYNAMIC PROJECTILE WITH THROUGH HOLE, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to the field of sport games, and more particularly, to a golf like game having multiple projectiles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Golf is a very popular sport. Traditionally, the game of golf consists of playing 18 holes using a predefined set of golf clubs and a golf ball. Generally, all golf balls are designed aerodynamically to facilitate the ball's flight down each fairway. Moreover, because the same golf ball must be used from the tee shot to the putt, traditional golf balls are designed round to facilitate travel over the ground for putting.

[0004] Because regulations require the using the same ball from the tee to the hole, golf clubs are designed to provide particular loft, spin, and the like to a golf ball to cause the golf ball to travel towards the golf hole. The lower clubs, both irons and woods, are designed with flatter strike surfaces to cause the golf ball to travel further in the air and reduced backspin, which allows the ball to roll more after striking the ground. The higher clubs are designed with more pitch at the strike surface to cause the ball to travel shorter distances and with increased backspin. Drivers and woods tend to propel a golf ball several hundred yards in distance, which similarly long fades and draws whether desired or not. Longer irons also tend to provide long distance and roll after the golf ball strikes the ground. Shorter irons and some woods tend to provide more loft and backspin causing the golf ball to travel a shorter distance. Moreover, the backspin tends to cause the ball to have less roll.

[0005] Gold clubs and balls today are consistently being designed so hitting a golf ball with a golf club causes the golf ball to travel further and further. However, the length of a golf course is becoming an increasingly inhibiting feature. Moreover, owning multiple clubs is expensive and carrying multiple clubs over the increasingly long distances associated with golf courses has become more and more of a burden. Additionally, the sheer length of today's golf courses adds to the amount of time required to play a round of golf.

[0006] Thus, it is desirable to provide a golf like game that would reduce the distance required for a golf course, reduce the amount of clubs required to play a round of golf, and the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The present application provides an improved golf game comprising multiple projectiles. The improved golf game includes a golf equipment set to play golf. The set comprising includes at least one golf club and a plurality of different golf balls, each of the plurality of different golf balls designed to travel a predetermined range, wherein at least one of the different golf balls is designed to travel a distance less than the other golf balls. The one golf ball comprises at least one linear through hole. The golf balls have a strike surface on the plurality of different golf balls, wherein the for the at least one golf ball having at least one linear through hole, the at least one strike surface is substantially parallel the axis of the through hole and perpendicular an axis of rotation, such that striking the strike surface induces the at least one golf ball to rotate when struck through a more aerodynamic phase and a less aerodynamic phase, wherein at least two of the plurality of different golf balls are used from a golf tee to a golf hole

[0008] Various features, utilities and advantages of a golf like game, in accordance with the invention, will be apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments, as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0009] The present invention will be apparent upon considering the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0010] FIGS. 1A and 1B provide top perspective views of non-standard spherically-shaped golf balls, in accordance with the present invention, wherein each of the two non-standard golf balls includes a relatively large diameter, center-located, circular-cylinder through hole in accordance with the invention, and wherein the two non-standard golf balls are provided with different external texturing.

[0011] FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C provide a number of side views of different types of non-standard golf ball, in accordance with the present invention, wherein the axis of the through holes that are provided within the non-standard golf ball extend in a horizontal direction in the figures.

[0012] FIG. 2A provides a side view of six different size non-standard golf balls having a circular-cylinder external surface and a relatively small-size center-located through hole.

[0013] FIG. 2B provides a side view of five different size non-standard golf balls having a radiused external surface and a relatively small center-located through hole.

[0014] FIG. 2C provides a top view of four different size-non-standard golf balls having a spherical external surface and a relatively small size center-located through hole.

[0015] FIGS. 3A-3F show five sequential views that depict the striking of a non-standard golf ball of the type shown in FIG. 1 and the subsequent flight of the non-standard golf ball.

[0016] FIG. 3A shows the non-standard golf ball sitting on the ground with the axis of its through hole facing upward as the head of a golf club is about to strike the non-standard golf ball.

[0017] FIG. 3B shows the compression of the non-standard golf ball as the club's head strikes the non-standard golf ball.

[0018] FIG. 3C shows the non-standard golf ball as it begins its flight and as the non-standard golf ball begins to spin in a counterclockwise direction due to the force applied thereto by the club's head.

[0019] FIG. 3D shows the continued flight and spinning of a non-standard golf ball.

[0020] FIG. 3E shows the least-aerodynamic position of the spinning non-standard golf ball during its flight through the air.
