ABSTRACT:
A golf practice mat has an upper surface provided with fixed lines to establish foot and shoulder alignment, swing path guidelines, ball position and unlofting lines in further combination with ball placement markers. Foot position indicia are color-coded to match up with ball placement markers (42) and line-of-flight arrows (38) to promote proper address and body position with respect to the ball thereby aiding a golfer's shot-making ability. The shoulder alignment (26) is closely spaced and parallel to the target line (24) which extends parallel to the intended line of flight of the golf ball. The unlofting line (32) indicates alternate locations for positioning a golf ball if the locations along ball position line (30) are deemed inappropriate, or if it is desired to effectively change the loft of a given club at the point of impact with the ball. In an alternate preferred form, the mat is of L-shaped configuration to leave an open space for placement of the ball to be struck.
