I'm looking to reconnect with a great game I played in my youth. The game was called "Pocket Golf." It was available through the Parks and Recreation Department in n Sacramento. You couldn't find these in a store. I'm sure they must have been bulk purchased from a manufacturer. The board was maybe 4 by 3 feet, made of wood. The table was smooth and painted. The game was placed on a table and you took shots like you would on a pool table. There were 9 "holes" set at various stages around the board. Only the Seventh was an actual hole, creating an indentation on the board. The others were wooden borders with the space for a one inch disk (like a checker, only wooden and slightly thicker) to be shot into from a fixed spot on the board with a doyle that acted as a pool cue. There was a "sand trap" and "water hazzard" painted on as well. Does this sound familiar to anyone.? What I would like is to know if they are still being manufactured and by who. I'd love some leads to Collectables or auction site that have one currently for sale. Thanks for you r ideas. |

rated this answer:![]() Although this is not the exact game table I once played on, the physical design is close enough to make me believe this may be the original manufacturer and that the game went through design changes during the ensuing decades. Ah, but if only things could be exactly as we remember them from our youth. Thank you juggler . This is exactly what I asked you for. |
