With that being said, golf putting devices and games do exist in golf related inventions, but none seems to be comprised of a realistic half putting cup, placed on its side, as the intended receiver of a golf ball. Combine that with a randomly placed nine hole course set prior to each game as where no two games would ever be exactly the same. Include a unique scoring system that goes against general golf logic, whereas the high score, not the low, wins. A scoring pad with columns for a player or players names, score per hole, total score for the game and the distance between the hole location markers and the putting cup enables said player or players to record their score if they choose to do so.

The putting cup opening that will receive the ball will resemble a half circle when the putting cup is laid on a floor like surface. As with a real regulation golf putting cup, one end of the cup accepts the ball and the other is submerged into a golf putting green so is true with this putting cup, one end accepts the ball, the other end does not because of its unique structure.

All hole location markers will be placed on the floor prior to the game, at the discretion of the player or players, enabling the game unlimited variation in the in the games format. Presenting a challenge golfers are looking for in this inventive game. [0016]Another object of the game is the ability to play the game almost anywhere, at home, at the office, on vacation and so on because of its relatively compact size, approximately 7'' by 4'' by 4'' in its box and weighing approximately 2 lbs. [0017]Yet another object of the invention is the appeal to a wide age group, 5 years and older approximately, because of the simply rules of play, ease of set up, and easy to follow scoring method.
