ABSTRACT:
The golf tee mat of the present invention comprises a sliding pad mounted in and surrounded by a U-shaped stance pad. Said stance pad accommodates a practicing golfer's planted feet and comprises a stiff, slippery, base sheet overlain and partially covered by a U-shaped, artificial turf-covered support layer. The sliding pad has a stiff, flexible, slippery base overlain with a resilient cushion and a layer of artificial turf; it nests resiliently in the space left uncovered between the arms of the U-shaped support layer. The sliding pad is in tongue and groove relation with the stance pad over short length near its exposed end, the rest of the stance pad's length being free to propagate a wave ahead of a swinging golf club's head to simulate the feel of taking a divot.
The mat further includes a cavity containing a mass of pliable matter, such as clay or putty, into which a tee may be inserted for practicing drives with wood clubs.
