ABSTRACT:
A tee and green structure for a game to be played within the confines of an open-air or domed sports arena. The tee structure includes a hitting tee mounted on a rail system which enables the orientation of the tee surface to be altered. Included in the rail system is a plurality of ties and a pair of substantially parallel rails which engage a correspondingly constructed wheel assembly of the hitting tee. The hitting tee includes a frame which supports a hitting deck over which grass sod is positioned. At the opposing end of the arena's playing field is a green structure surrounded by various playing hazards. The green structure is also movable and includes a putting surface formed by a seamed carpet positioned over an elevated putting deck. The deck is elevated by a plurality of upright supports varying in height and having angled upper surfaces. The upright supports extend from and are secured to a support frame. The upper angle of the surfaces and the height of the upright supports thus induce intricate contours and elevational changes into the putting surface making for a challenging game.
