ABSTRACT:
A practice device for use by golfers to practice golf swings includes a body having an opening. A ball-supporting surface is formed generally over the opening for supporting a golf ball thereon. The practice device also includes a supporting device spanning the opening for supporting the ball-supporting surface. The supporting device includes a plurality of plate members extending from the body into the opening and at least partially overlapping with each other such that at least a portion of the ball-supporting surface is deflectable in a generally downward direction so as to yield to a club head when the ball-supporting surface is struck by same. In this manner, the ball-supporting surface is adapted to absorb the impact created by the club head, while simulating the sensation of striking through a natural turf.
