Method of playing a golf game

Abstract: A method of playing a golf type game, the method comprising playing golf holes, where each golf hole is comprised of a plurality of golf short game shots, each arranged as individual short shot holes, and where the tee box surface type from which play begins for a player on all subsequent short shot holes (where at least one of the subsequent short shot holes is of a longer distance than the immediately preceding short shot hole comprising a golf hole) is dependent upon, and determined by, the resulting resting position of the player's ball after the first hit attempt of the ball from the tee area toward the appropriate target green area at the immediately preceding short shot hole; and where some of the tee boxes are comprised of turf each having sections of different lengths, and where some of the tee boxes are comprised of sand each having sections of different grades, and some of the tee boxes are comprised of bunkers each having sections of different depths; and the method further defined as the steps of hitting a ball at least one time with a golf club starting from a first tee area toward a first target area having at least an inner zone and an outer zone, until the ball is successfully hit, and comes to rest, within the appropriate zones associated with the short shot hole, or a predetermined maximum number of strokes is reached; and thereafter proceeding to a subsequent short shot hole, comprising the golf hole, and starting from one of a plurality of starting points dependant upon the resulting resting position of the player's ball after the first hit attempt of the ball toward the appropriate target green area in the preceding step; and with each golf hole finishing with a subsequent putting short shot hole with the player hitting a ball with a golf club from one of a plurality of starting points, dependant upon the resulting resting position of the player's ball after the first hit attempt of the ball toward the appropriate target green area in the preceding step, at a target putting green area until the ball is in the hole of the target putting green surface, or a second predetermined maximum number of strokes is reached; and where penalty strokes may be assessed relative to a player's hitting accuracy and relative to the number of hitting attempts taken by the player at each short shot hole.
