ABSTRACT:
A golf practice apparatus for pitching, chipping and putting includes a pitching mat, a chipping-putting mat, a putting green mat and a lighter-than-regulation-weight golf ball. The golf ball includes a plurality of strips of hook-like projections extending around the golf ball in a spaced apart arrangement. The putting green mat has a top surface of loop-like fibers which are capable of interlocking engagement with the hook-like projections on the golf ball in order to restrict the movement of the golf ball as it travels across the top surface of the putting green mat. The pitching and chipping-putting mats include artificial turf material which permits rolling freedom thereacross by the golf ball. The pitching mat may be positioned at any number of different distances from the chipping-putting mat which is contiguous with the putting green mat so that different length pitching and chipping shots can be practiced. The golf ball may be hit from the pitching mat onto the chipping-putting mat where it will bounce and roll up toward the putting green mat which has a golf cup hole disposed therein. Variations on this embodiment are also disclosed wherein alternative designs may be utilized in a similar manner.
