ABSTRACT:
The improved golf practicing apparatus has a vertical slider unit that comprises an outer tube, an intermediate tube and an inner tube that are slidably fitted over one another in that order in such a way that the hole in the floor surface can be completely closed with the top surface of the intermediate tube. The apparatus repeats automatically a cycle that consists of automatically supplying a golf ball onto the tee mounted on the inner tube, automatically raising the tee above the floor by a drive mechanism, lowering the tee after hitting the ball on it, placing the next ball on the tee and raising the tee again. The apparatus may be adapted to have the capability of adjusting the height of the tee after it is raised above the floor. It may also be adapted to tilt the floor by a desired angle of inclination. The fairly large hole that is formed in the area where balls are teed up in the prior art golf practicing apparatus is completely closed in the improved apparatus, so the hole is not at all obtrusive to the player who is about to hit the ball. The damage to the club and hands of the player which would otherwise occur if the hole where exposed can be effectively prevented by the improved apparatus. If the apparatus has capabilities for adjusting the height of the tee and the inclination of the floor, the player can practice hitting balls with various types of clubs including woods and irons under substantially the same condition as in an actual golf course.
