(54) Simulated golf game apparatus


(57) This invention provides a simulated golf game apparatus comprising a substantially horizontal playing surface (14) having a row of holes therethrough; a pair of laterally spaced inclined rods (24, 26) extending along and above the row from a high end to a low end; means (30) supporting the rods (24,26) at the high end and mounting them (40) at the low end so that they provide a track for supporting a ball to roll therealong and so that they can be moved relatively angularly apart about the lower end to cause such a ball to roll from the low towards the high end and to drop from between the rods (24,26), the -holes corresponding to progressively better scores at golf holes in the direction from the low end to the high end of the rods (24,26); means (30) for adjusting the inclination of the rods (24,26) according to the par of the golf hole to be played; and sensing and display (16) means for displaying the par of the golf hole to be played, sensing through which hole in the row a ball has dropped and displaying the players corresponding score for that hole or his aggregate score.
