Original dart links golf dart board

Abstract

A dart board game that simulates the game of golf by using regulation size darts. It is comprised of an eighteen inch regulation dart board with representations of various golf holes related to the score card. The regulation board includes varying marked yardages, water ponds, outside perimeter landing area, three stage putting green that includes a hole-in-one. All in-play areas are marked with one-eighth inch (⅛″) perimeter lines. The game combines the skilled precision and finesse of darts with the low-scoring goal of golf.

1 . An original custom designed, regulation sized golf dart board adapted to be hung vertically from a mounting surface. The golf dartboard has 14 landing play areas with yardages (YDS) denoted in units of 25-25 yards; 50 yards; 75 yards; 100 yards; 125 yards; 150 yards; 175 yards; 200 yards; 225 yards; 250 yards; 275 yards; 300 yards; 325 yards; 350 yards. The play areas are separated by a one-eighth inch (⅛″) line which are also playing areas. ( FIG. 1 ) 
     
     
         2 . An even further a three stage putting green with three (3) stage putting green has four (4) landing areas. Area one (1) denoted as 1 putt, area two (2) denoted as 2 putt, area three (3) denoted as 3 putt and hole in one denoted as HIO. 
     
     
         3 . An even further addition to the above denoted areas are several smaller, semi-circular/oval blue water areas of play also known as “water ponds”. 
     
     
         4 . An even further perimeter outside all clearly marked landing areas to very outside edge of the dartboard is out-of-bounds as described in the rules where one stroke penalty will be incurred. 
     
     
         5 . Plurality of darts—the golf dart board game is played with four ( 4 ) darts, one dart per person and each dart including a main body section with a front end including a needle extending therefrom, the rear end of each dart including flight extending therefrom, and the main section of each dart which includes a rough gripping surface and barrel. ( FIG. 3 ) 
     
     
         6 . The player would grip the dart during play of the game and throw towards the golf dart board so that the needle becomes lodged in the desired section of the board. 
     
     
         7 . Customized score cards—The player's score is recorded on pre-printed score cards. The score cards are rectangular in shape and contain fourteen (14) marked horizontal rows. A first row includes numbered holes 1 through 9 followed by a column which includes total yardages from holes one (1) through nine (9). Holes 10 through 18 are marked on score card. A second row includes yardages from the gold tees. The third row includes yardages from the blue tees. The fourth row includes yardages from the white tees. The fifth row includes the handicap. The next four rows will include the names of up to four players per round of golf. The tenth row includes par on holes from one (1) through nine (9) and total as well as holes ten (10) through eighteen (18) and total. The eleventh (11) row includes ladies and seniors yardages from holes one (1) through nine (9) and total as well as holes ten (10) through eighteen (18) and total. The twelfth (12) row includes the ladies par on holes from one (1) through nine (9) and total as well as holes ten (10) through eighteen (18) and total. The thirteenth row includes the ladies handicap on holes one (1) through nine (9) and holes ten (10) through eighteen (18). Each player records their respective scores. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game is deemed the winner. The opposite side of the score card is identical to the player's score card described above. ( FIG. 2 ) 
     
     
         8 . A set of playing rules and safety instructions informing players how to play the game will be included with the board, darts and score card package.
