3T Golf ("3TG")

Abstract

Compact 18-hole golf course divided in 6 groups (Clusters) of 3 tracks or holes that are played simultaneously, using matching colored elements (balls, teeing areas, flags and scorecard) and innovative Target Shot Advantage Points and Cluster Points Scoring System to create a new strategy for playing golf, as it is a compact, fast paced and precision intended; while observing the regulation yardage of a traditional golf course and the 72 strokes required for Par Play, played in lesser time than in a traditional game of golf and in a shorter walking distance.

1 . A compact golf course for playing 3 holes simultaneously, comprising 6 groups or Clusters of fairways each one formed by:
 one long distance hole, called Par 5, one medium distance hole, called Par 4 and one short distance hole, called Par 3, or any other combination, all these sharing common obstacles and hazards;   3 different colored teeing-off areas matching the Par being played;   3 Tracks, wherein the first one (Par 5) includes 2 Target Shot Areas, the second one (Par 4) with 1 Target Shot Area and the third (Par 3) with 0 Target Shot Areas   1 Nest comprising 3 putting greens, each with a pinhole and colored flags matching the par being played   Spectators areas strategically located throughout the course;   
       thus enabling the play of 18 holes and observing the regulation yardage of a traditional golf course and the 72 strokes required for Par Play; 
     
     
         2 . Colored matching elements for each Par being played:
 Color 1: Ball 1, Tee-off area 1, Pinhole flag 1, Scorecard area 1 for Pars 5   Color 2: Ball 2, Tee-off area 2, Pinhole flag 2, Scorecard area 2 for Pars 4   Color 3: Ball 3, Tee-off area 3, Pinhole flag 3, Scorecard area 3 for Pars 3   
     
     
         3 . Game Playing System
 A Fast-Play Game System in which 3 holes are simultaneously played with colored balls by teeing off from a plurality of matching colored teeing-off areas, aiming for matching colored pinholes in the least number of strokes possible, while accumulating Advantage Points (Precision Play Game System) when landing the ball on the Target Shot Areas in the number of strokes permitted.   
     
     
         4 . A colored coded Scorecard comprised of: 
       FRONT OF CARD:
 Column identifying the Cluster, hole, par, number of strokes, Advantage Points (Target Shots), Total Strokes and Cluster Points played, 
 Subsequent columns identifying each Cluster: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, each divided in three columns which identify the Hole and Par with a specific color of the par being played; Color 1 Par 5, Color 2, par 4, Color 3, Par 3, which match the rest of the color elements on  claim 2   
 Cluster Points Section: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to write down the Advantage Points won for the Cluster 
 Total Points Section: includes the subtraction of Total Strokes Less the Cluster Points for the Total Points scored by Player. 
 
       BACK OF CARD:
 A blueprint of the specific golf course being played and the Game Rules. 
 
     
     
         5 . Game Scoring Systems:
 1. Target Shots Scoring System in which the players win additional points called Advantage Points whenever the ball lands in designated Target Shot Areas as described in  claim 1 , adding:
 A. 1 Advantage Point for each 1st Target Shot in 1 stroke for tee-off in Holes Par 5 and 4; 
 B. 1 Advantage Point for each 2 nd  Target Shot in 2 strokes from tee-off in Hole par 5 and; 
 C. 2 Advantage Points for each 2 nd  Target Shot achieved in one stroke from tee-off in Par 5 holes; 
   and subtracting the total Target Shots Advantage Points from the Number of Strokes section in the scorecard, to account for the Total Strokes given by the Players.   2. Cluster Points Scoring System that add 1 Advantage Point (Cluster Advantage Point) to a player who while playing in a group, scores the least number of Total Strokes in a Cluster; the Cluster Advantage Point will be subtracted from the Total Strokes to account for the Total Points won by the Player and will be written down in the section provided in the Scorecard.
