ABSTRACT:
An apparatus adapted for use as a green on a golf driving range wherein golf balls which land on the apparatus are prevented from remaining thereon. The apparatus includes a golf green surface having a perimeter in the shape of a golf green and an interiorly located cup opening. The apparatus includes self-clearing means for preventing golf balls which land on the golf green surface from remaining thereon. The self-clearing of golf balls is accomplished by either shaping the green surface so that golf balls inherently roll off of the green or by providing a mechanism which raises and lowers one end of the green surface in order to clear balls therefrom. The self-clearing green is well-suited for use on golf driving ranges where the clutter of golf balls on target greens reduces the value of the green as a realistic target for golfers using the range.
