ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use in practicing the driving of golf balls has a stand provided with a laterally disposed arm provided with a rotor to which a golf ball is held captive by means of a depending arm connected to the ball by a cord. A meter records the number of revolutions of the rotor each time the tethered ball is driven enabling the relative distance the ball would have been driven, if free, to be evaluated. This result is attained by utilizing a meter having a push type actuator and by providing the depending arm with a horizontally supported member disposed towards the stand and having a path inclusive of the actuator which is thereby engaged by the member each time a struck ball orbits.
