Abstract:
A golf putting game using a mat is shown and described. The mat is visually demarcated into a center penalty zone, two surrounding penalty zones, and two outermost reward zones, with a simulated hole in the center penalty zone. In a first phase of play, players attempt to propel golf balls across nearly the entire mat, from one outermost reward zone towards an opposed reward zone. Success elicits point awards. After a predetermined number of award points is attained, each player attempts to propel a golf ball into the simulated hole. Failure results in deductions from previously accumulated awards. That player having the highest score after deductions may be declared the winner.

Claim (Index 1):
Apparatus for at least one golf player playing a putting game using a golf ball and a putting iron for striking and propelling the golf ball, the apparatus comprising a mat visually demarcating:\n a starting region from which a golf ball is to be struck; a ball reception region into which the golf ball is to be struck and in which the ball is to remain; a penalty area between the starting region and the ball reception region, the penalty area intended to apply a scoring penalty for balls propelled from the starting region towards the ball reception region, wherein propelled balls fail to reach the ball reception region and come to rest within the penalty area; and a target on the penalty area between the starting region and the ball reception region, wherein\n the starting region is smaller in area than the penalty area, and the target is smaller in area than the starting region.
