DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(5) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, an example of the instant foldable target game employing the principles and concepts of the present foldable target game and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

(6) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 4 the present foldable target game 10 is illustrated. The foldable target game 10 includes a circular foldable target 12 having a center 14, a top side 16, a bottom side 18, a lip 20 continuously disposed on an outer perimeter 22, and a pocket 24 continuously disposed on the outer perimeter. A flexible wire ring 26 is disposed within the pocket 24. A plurality of tabs 28 is disposed on the outer perimeter 22. Each of the plurality of tabs is evenly spaced on the outer perimeter.

(7) The circular foldable target 12 has an open configuration 30 and an alternate folded configuration 32. In the open configuration 30, the circular foldable target has a first diameter 34. In the alternate folded configuration 32, the circular foldable target has a second diameter 36. An inner circle design 38 is disposed on the top side 16 of the circular foldable target, and a middle circle design 40 is medially disposed on the top side of the circular foldable target between the inner circle design 38 and the outer perimeter 22. The outer perimeter, the middle circle design, and the inner circle design are concentric. A plurality of tear shaped apertures 42 is disposed from the top side 16 of the circular foldable target to the bottom side 18 of the circular foldable target between the middle circle design 40 and the outer perimeter 22 thereof. A plurality of ovular apertures 44 is disposed from the top side of the circular foldable target to the bottom side of the circular foldable target between the inner circle design 38 and the middle circle design 40 thereof. A circular aperture 46 is disposed from the top side of the circular foldable target to the bottom side of the circular foldable target within the inner circle design 38. A telescopable flag pole 48 has a compacted position 50 having a first length 52, and an alternate extended position 54 having a second length 56. The telescopable flag pole is configured to be planted in a grass lawn 58 within the circular aperture 46 such that it stands perpendicular to a plane 60 of the circular foldable target.

(8) A preferred embodiment of the invention also includes a star design 62 centrally disposed on the top side of the circular foldable target, wherein the star design has a plurality of points 62 each extending to a terminus 64 between the inner circle design 38 and the middle circle design 40. The plurality of points of the star design and the inner circle design intersect to create a plurality of pie shaped designs 66 there between. There is a plurality of pie shaped apertures 68 disposed from the top side of the circular foldable target to the bottom side of the circular foldable target, wherein each of the pie shaped apertures is disposed within each of the plurality of pie shaped designs 66. A webbing 69 is disposed on the bottom side 18 of the circular foldable target across each of the plurality of tear shaped apertures 42, the plurality of ovular apertures 44, the circular aperture 46, and the plurality of pie shaped apertures 68. The webbing adds stiffness to the circular foldable target, and also helps trap a projectile 70 shot onto the circular foldable target 12. There is a circular bag 72 having a zippered aperture 74, a pair of handles 76, and an outside pocket 78, wherein the zippered aperture is configured to receive the circular foldable target 12 in the alternate folded configuration.

(9) The folding target game is configured to be played with projectiles including, but not limited to, a plurality of golf balls 80. A plurality of point values can be assigned to each of a first area 82 within the inner circle, a second area 84 between the inner circle and the middle circle, a third area 86 between the middle circle and the outer perimeter, the circular aperture 46, the plurality of pie shaped apertures 68, the plurality of ovular apertures 44, and the plurality of tear shaped apertures 42. The lip 20 is configured to keep the plurality of golf balls 80 from rolling off of the folding target game.
