ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a readily portable device for practicing golf in confined indoor or outdoor areas. The device offers a quick set up and tear down feature, unique compactness and substantial improvements over all golf practice devices of prior art in that the present invention not only arrests the flight of a solidly hit golf ball but also catches and retains the ball so that it might be easily retrieved by the practicing golfer. The device, in essence, comprises three main components: a quick assembly, rigid vertical rectangular frame mounted on bilaterally attached uni-directional rockers, a unique net design and a weighted and footed teeing mat. The rigid, vertical, rectangular frame provides vertical support and lateral retention for a unique mesh net which is suspended within the rectangular frame by retention clips which are attached primarily to the uppermost frame member to provide vertical support and which attach loosely near the upper terminus of the frame's bilateral uprights to provide lateral tension and retention.
