ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the practice of sand trap golf shots comprises a receptacle formed from one or more pieces of foldable sheet material. In one embodiment, the sheet material is supported in the configuration of a receptacle by being placed inside of a tray. In another embodiment, the material is attached to a frame for support. One piece of material forming the receptacle has an integral extension which, when unfolded, extends outwardly from one or more sides of the receptacle to form an apron. The receptacle is filled with sand or a suitable substitute. A golfer can practice hitting balls out of the sand. The sand scattered by the golfer's swings falls on the apron, which can then be lifted over the receptacle to return the sand to the receptacle's interior. When the apparatus is not in use, the apron is simply folded up over the sand, thereby protecting the sand from the elements. A golf shot aiming device is advantageously included in the apparatus. The aiming device comprises a pair of perpendicular panels, and it can be partially embedded in the sand with one of the panels protruding to provide a guide or a target for aligning or aiming a golf shot.
