Abstract

An advanced golf toss game that is interesting and more challenging for the entire family includes at least two stands with each stand having a base for disposition on the ground and a vertically extending frame that includes two spaced-apart upright members with at least two curved step-like target bars extending between and attached to the upright members with one target bar being the lower target and one target being the upper target. Each step-like target bar includes two horizontal tubular sections or bars joined by a vertically extending bar to form the curvilinear shape and each bar has a point value associated with it so that two players—or teams of players—can toss in alternating turns stringed pairs of golf balls at the opposite upper and lower targets within the frame in an attempt to hook and wrap their teams stringed golf ball pairs onto the bars for accumulating points to win the game.

Claims

1. A golf toss game having a pair of stands at which projectiles are thrown to score and accumulate points, comprising:

each stand including a generally square-shaped base with the base including a plurality of interconnected base members;

a frame mounted to and extending vertically upwardly from the base and at which the projectiles are thrown;

the frame including a pair of spaced-apart upright members mounted to and extending upwardly from the base members;

each upright member including a lower end and an opposite upper end;

a crosspiece extending between and adjoining the upright members adjacent the upper ends thereof;

at least two step-like target bars mounted to the upright members and extending therebetween with the target bars being located in the same plane as the crosspiece and the upright members;

each target bar including at least two horizontally extending tubular sections interconnected by a vertically oriented tubular section;

the horizontally extending tubular sections of each target bar having a unique point value associated therewith and the target bars further delineated as an upper target and a lower target;

the projectiles including a plurality of pairs of balls with each pair of balls connected together by a string; and

wherein players stand opposite of each stand and alternately toss the stringed pairs of balls at the frame, the crosspiece and the target bars in order to hook and wrap the stringed pairs of balls about the crosspiece and the tubular sections of the target bars for accumulating points with the first player to score a predetermined amount of points being declared the winner.

2. A golf toss game including a pair of stands at which projectiles are thrown in order to score and accumulate points, comprising:

each stand including a generally square-shaped base with the base including a plurality of interconnected base members;

a frame mounted to and extending vertically upwardly from the base and at which the projectiles are thrown;

the frame including a pair of spaced-apart upright members mounted to and extending upwardly from the base members;

each upright member including a lower end and an opposite upper end;

a crosspiece extending between and adjoining the upright members adjacent the upper ends thereof;

at least two step-like target bars mounted to the upright members and extending therebetween with the target bars being located in the same plane as the crosspiece and the upright members;

each target bar including at least two horizontally extending tubular sections interconnected by a vertically oriented tubular section;

the crosspiece and the horizontally extending tubular sections of each target bar having a unique point value associated therewith;

the projectiles including a plurality of pairs of balls with each pair of balls connected together by a string; and

wherein players stand opposite of each stand and alternately toss the stringed pairs of balls at the frame, the crosspiece, and the target bars in order to hook and wrap the stringed pairs of balls about the crosspiece and the tubular sections of the target bars for accumulating points with the first player to accumulate a predetermined amount of points being declared the winner.

3. The golf toss game of claim 2 wherein the step-like target bars are further defined as an upper target and a lower target.

4. The golf toss game of claim 3 further including a slidably adjustable mounting means for mounting the step-like target bars to the upright members so that each step-like target bar can be selectively and independently adjustable along the upright members to vary the distance of the step-like target bars from each other.
