Golf Course and Method of Playing Golf

Abstract

A golf course and method of play wherein players start by using a shooting device to shoot a ball from a tee area towards a target area located near a putting green. Once the ball lands the player proceeds to the landing spot to complete the hole by hitting the ball into a cup on the putting green using conventional golf clubs. The target area includes a ricochet wall and a target that has a bullseye. If the player hits the target the player's score is credited but if the player misses the target area entirely the player's score is penalized.
