A golf-like, short-hole, pitch-and-chip target game has an elongated
course of predetermined length and width and at least one lie location at
one end of the course and at least one sand trap that is divided into at
least first and second divisions, the first division having a first
scoring value and the second division having a second scoring value
wherein the sand trap is located a predetermined distance from the lie so
that a chip shot or a pitch shot of a ball from said lie can land in one
of the divisions of the sand trap which has a sand composition such that
a ball falls essentially dead upon striking the sand.
