ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the practice of sand trap golf shots comprises a tray of substantially uniform depth and a sheet of foldable material. The sheet, when folded, is fully containable within the tray. When unfolded, the sheet has an exterior portion which extends over the sides of the tray to form an apron around the tray's perimeter, and an interior portion which forms a lining for the inside of the tray. The tray, with its lining, is filled with sand, or a suitable substitute. A golfer can then 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 tray to return the sand to the tray's interior. When the apparatus is not in use, the sheet 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.
