ABSTRACT:
A golf game for use in practicing the golf strokes of driving, approach shots, putting and the like, requiring only a limited space. The game includes a base simulating a fairway that is preferably enclosed by at least a top and opposed side walls to contain flying golf balls, a target area at one end of the fairway and a teeing area opposite the target area. The target area is constructed for stopping balls that strike or miss the targets and has photoelectric cells for sensing the balls when they strike a target. A putting hole is provided in the fairway opposite the teeing area. A collection arrangement collects the balls that are shot at and strike or miss the targets and a ball sweeping assembly normally disposed out of the way of the teeing area and fairway is used to selectively sweep the fairway for the return of the balls for reuse. The ball sweeping assembly includes a sweeping board pivotally mounted on a support frame, a bias spring holding the board in the sweeping position together with a drive motor and a drive train for selectively moving the support frame and board back and forth relative to the fairway.
