ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for improving a golfer's skill at playing golf, the apparatus having a golf ball simulating target having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of a real golf ball and means for supporting the target in a substantially upright orientation for striking by the golfer. Preferably, the means for supporting is formed of a material having shape memory retention properties such that the target will return to its rest position from its displaced position after being struck by a golf club. The supporting means is pivotally mounted to the surface to indicate direction of travel. The target may include an aperture to provide a whistle indicating a well hit golf ball and the apparatus may include a distance indicator.
