ABSTRACT:
A portable net has an erected configuration for practicing golf or the like by stopping the flight of a golf ball and returning it to a selected location and a folded configuration for storage or transport. The portable net has an elastic frame that forms a base and a net support section. A net is connected to the net support section of the frame so that the net is extends away from the base in the erected configuration. The net is arranged to stop the flight of a golf ball that is incident thereon. A fabric is connected between the net and the base so that a projectile that has impinged upon the net falls to the fabric and then rolls to the front portion of the portable net. The frame is configured such that a person may put the frame into a folded configuration by deforming the first and second frame members into a plurality of generally concentric rings. A retainer such as a strap is provided for selectively retaining the frame in the folded configuration. The frame is formed such that elastic forces in the frame spontaneously move the frame to the erected configuration when the retainer is not engaged to retain the frame in the storage configuration.
