Portable golf chipping game and apparatus

Abstract

A chipping game involves rolling a chipping receptacle and ball carrier on a surface and using a chipping club to hit a ball toward the center of the chipping receptacle and ball carrier. The chipping receptacle and ball carrier is comprised of a circular housing having an outer peripheral edge that allows the chipping receptacle and ball carrier to roll on a surface until it falls on its left or right side. The chipping receptacle and ball carrier is further comprised of an inner concave surface that retains balls for storage.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A chipping receptacle and ball carrier, comprising:
 a circular housing;   the circular housing having an outer peripheral edge that allows the chipping receptacle and ball carrier to roll on the outer peripheral edge;   
     
     
         2 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the inner concave surface is configured to retain one or more chipping balls within the chipping receptacle and ball carrier. 
     
     
         3 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the inner concave surface is configured to retain one or more chipping balls within the chipping receptacle and ball carrier, and wherein the inner concave surface retains the one or more chipping balls such that the one or more chipping balls are removable by a user. 
     
     
         4 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral edge is configured to have a surface that is contoured or textured such that the chipping receptacle and ball carrier has an induced wobble as it rolls on a surface. 
     
     
         5 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral edge is configured to have a surface that is contoured or textured such that the chipping receptacle and ball carrier has a surface resistance as it rolls on a surface and causes the chipping receptacle and ball carrier to roll a limited distance before falling on one of its sides. 
     
     
         6 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the circular housing further comprises:
 a left side;   a right side;   wherein the left side and the right side are substantially flat.   
     
     
         7 . The chipping receptacle and ball carrier of  claim 1 , wherein the circular housing further comprises:
 a left side;   a right side;   wherein the left side and the right side are slightly curved.
