ABSTRACT:
A golf range comprising a series of independent targets, each of which consists of a sloped area located at a different distance from a multiplicity of tee stands. The range is also equipped with a scoring system that uses Universal Product Codes on each ball, optical scanners located at each target, and a programmed computer to identify each ball passing through the target and to record pertinent information and statistics to provide golfers with a record of the number and length of shots taken. The computer is also programmed to provide a comparison of information from previous sessions for a particular golfer or other golfers. In another embodiment, the invention also comprises a multilevel vertical target for driver shots located at a fixed distance from each tee stand, wherein each level includes a receiving net and a gutter connected to the system of pipes for the return of the balls.
