ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a trifunctional golfing cage having an elongated flat playing surface base with a tee off area at its front, a free standing frame, a first netting connected to the frame so as to enclose sides, back and top areas of the base, a second netting hanging down in front of the back portion of the first netting, a third netting hanging down in front of the second netting, and a cup located in the base. The second netting is a driving "loose drop" netting which hangs down at least 75% of the height of the cage to stop driven golf balls. The third netting is a chipping "loose drop" netting much shorter than the second netting and is a chipping "loose drop" netting. The cup is strategically located for putting. Return trough(s) may be employed to return the hit balls back to the front of the base, e.g. by gravity. An optional fourth netting may be employed to enhance deflection of chipped golf balls.
