ABSTRACT:
A golf practice game which is particularly suitable for indoor use, for developing skills in the game of golf. It comprises a stand of adjustable height on which is mounted an artificial or synthetic turf or rug on which balls may be hit. The artificial turf is mounted on a rectangular table supported solely by a centrally located post which is vertically adjustable in length, to vary the height of the table. The artificial turf includes strips of turf which are slideably mounted and returned to their initial positions by rubber bands, after having been forcibly hit by a golf club. Golf clubs with very short handles are used. A second driving position on the rug is a tee on which the golf ball may be set. When using either of these two positions, it is recommended that a light net or room draperies be used to stop the flight of the ball. A third position is one in which the golf ball is suspended by a cord. A fourth position is a propeller mounted on the side of the stand. In each situation, a short golf club is used to hit the ball when mounted as described. When striking the propeller or suspended ball, the speed of the drive can be denoted by the number of rotations of the propeller or suspended ball.
