Abstract

A game apparatus is provided that can reduce the number of times that a player of the game has to performs unnecessary manual operations. A shot direction and a golf club determined by automatic determination means 53 can be modified by manual modification means 55. Shot position determination means 51 determines whether or not a shot motion should be made at the same position continuously twice. When the shot position determination means 51 determines that the shot motion was the second shot made at the same position, the automatic determination means 53 determines the shot direction and club, which has been stored in memory means 57 at the time of a previous play, as a shot direction and a club for a next play.
