Abstract
Hybrid golf comprises playing a variety of golf shots around a progressive course comprising a single centrally located hole with a green. A plurality of tees are located at different predetermined distances from the green and at spaced intervals from each other in a substantially circular pattern around the green. Bar coded golf balls are used for scoring purposes in conjunction with a bar code optical or other type of scanner reader mounted on each tee and within the hole. All scoring information is recorded by a central computer in order to facilitate immediate comparison of scoring data of a single player or between and among players. At least one putting green is located adjacent the last tee. A player drives the ball from successive tees and then putts on the putting green to wrap up the game. The object of the game is to put as many of the six bar coded balls as possible on the green, and thereby automatically through the scanner.
