Abstract

The golh sport is comprised of the golh club, golfrisbee disc and golfrisbee basket. Swiveling the golh club, the flying object such as golfrisbee disk is thrown to fly into the golfrisbee basket. The golfrisbee basket has the wind-bell-chain reverted umbrella structure to protect the golfrisbee from damage. The flying object has many types such as the gollfball, golfrisbee disk, golfring, diskring, boomerang, ploygon boomerang, multi-boomerang ring, multi-boomerang diskring, etc. The golfrisbee further comprises a slotted skirt made of rubber material to make it safe for playing in the park and the backbone made of the shock-resistant plastic material. Furthermore, the golh sport is the golf hybrid of the golfrisbee and golfball. Swiveling the golh club, the golfrisbee or the golfball is thrown to fly. The golf ball can be putted to roll into the universal portable hole with golh club. Golh is the hybrid golf comprising the flying golfrisbee and the golfball. Basedisk is the golfrisbee sport following the similar game rules of baseball. Handisk is the golfrisbee sport following the similar games rules of football. The core technologies are the swiveling club throwing technology, wind-bell-chain reverted-umbrella golfrisbee basket and the universal direction wing flying disk technology. All the series of the golh products are derived from the versatile combinations of these three key technologies. The golh system comprises the complete set solution for the course golh, park golh, snow golh, night golh, and the baseball type golh sport named as basedisk. The golh system comprises the golh club, golfrisbee, golfrisbee basket, portable hole, golh lubricant, golh cart, golh trolley, golh bag, golh swing trainer, and the manufacture processes to be an integrated system package.
