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.

1 . A golf equipment set to play a single golf hole, the set comprising: 
 at least one golf club;    a plurality of different golf balls, each of the plurality of different golf balls designed to travel a predetermined range, at least one of the plurality of different golf balls designed to travel a distance less than the other of the plurality of different golf balls;    at least one golf ball of the plurality of different golf balls comprising at least one linear through hole; and    a strike surface on the plurality of different golf balls; the at least one golf ball having at least one linear through hole having at least one strike surface causing 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.    
   
   
       2 . The golf equipment set of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one golf club comprises at least two golf clubs.  
   
   
       3 . The golf equipment set of  claim 2 , wherein one of the at least two golf clubs is a putter.  
   
   
       4 . The golf equipment set of  claim 2 , wherein the at least two golf clubs are designed to provide different loft to the plurality of golf balls.  
   
   
       5 . The golf equipment set of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of golf balls comprises at least one golf ball designed for the golf tee, at least one golf ball designed for the fairway, and at least one golf ball designed for putting.  
   
   
       6 . The golf equipment set of  claim 5 , wherein the golf ball designed for the golf tee has a first through hole and the golf ball designed for the fairway has a second through hole and the first through hole has a smaller diameter than the second through hole.  
   
   
       7 . The golf equipment set of  claim 1 , further comprising an obstruction to insert in the at least one linear through hole of the at least one golf ball.  
   
   
       8 . The golf equipment set of  claim 7 , wherein the obstruction comprises a foamed practice golf ball.  
   
   
       9 . A method of playing golf with a reduced number of golf clubs comprising the steps of: 
 providing a first golf ball;    striking the first golf ball with a golf club to propel the golf ball towards a golf hole;    selecting a next golf ball; different than the first golf ball; and    striking the next golf ball with the golf club to propel the golf ball towards the golf hole; wherein    at least one of the first golf ball and the second golf ball has a linear through hole.    
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first golf ball is struck with a first golf club and further comprising the step of selecting a next golf club to strike the next golf ball.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first golf club and the next golf club are the same golf club.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first golf club and the next golf club are different golf clubs.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the steps of: 
 replacing the next golf ball with a final golf ball when the green is reached; and    providing a putter to put the final golf ball into the golf hole.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first golf ball is provided with a through hole, the method comprising the step of inserting an obstruction into the through hole.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the inserting the obstruction comprises the steps of compressing a foam practice golf ball into a compressed foam practice golf ball, inserting the compressed foam practice golf ball into the through hole, and expanding the compressed foam practice golf ball to obstruct the through hole.  
   
   
       16 . A golf equipment set to play a game of golf, the set comprising: 
 at least one golf club;    a plurality of different golf balls, the plurality of different golf balls comprising at least a longer distance golf ball, a shorter distance golf ball, and a putting golf ball;    the longer distance golf ball having a more restricted airflow through hole;    the shorter distance golf ball having a less restricted airflow through hole; and    the putting golf ball being generally spherical in shape; wherein    at least two of the three plurality of different golf balls are used between a golf tee and a golf hole.    
   
   
       17 . The golf equipment set of  claim 16 , wherein the longer distance golf ball through hole is obstructed by an obstruction such that striking the longer distance golf ball tends to cause the longer distance golf ball to travel further than either the shorter distance golf ball or the putting golf ball.  
   
   
       18 . The golf equipment set of  claim 17 , wherein the longer distance golf ball has a first modules of elasticity and the second golf ball has a second modules of elasticity different than the first modules of elasticity.  
   
   
       19 . The golf equipment set of  claim 16 , where the more restricted airflow is caused by a narrower through hole.  
   
   
       20 . The golf equipment set of  claim 16 , wherein the less restricted airflow is caused by a wider through hole.
