ABSTRACT:
A simulated golf green is provided which comprises a base including a base plate, a plurality of dividers mounted on the base plate which define a plurality of areas on the base plate, a plurality of holes through the base plate, one hole being located in each of the areas, and a plurality of channels mounted below the base plate each of the channels being positioned below one of the holes. A plurality of surface plates are positioned over the base, the surface plates forming a substantially contiguous cover thereover which has the appearance pf a golf green. A plurality of supports are mounted on the base plate, each support supporting one of the surface plates such that the surface plates can tilt with respect to the support at 360.degree. around the axis of the supports. Thus when a golf ball strikes a surface plate, it will tilt toward the side on which it was struck and the golf ball will fall off the surface plate onto one of the areas on the base plate and then through the hole in the base plate which is in the area. When the ball falls through the hole it falls into one of the channels positioned beneath the base plate. A detector is provided for detecting the presence of the golf ball in the channel.
