Abstract
An apparatus including a configurable golf green having a changeable contour is provided. The apparatus includes a flexible covering forming the golf green. The flexible covering is movable between a base condition and a contoured condition. The apparatus includes a covering support assembly configured to support the flexible covering in both conditions. The support assembly includes a plurality of movable positioning elements disposed in an array below the flexible covering. Each movable positioning element includes an upper end having an adjustable vertical position in contact with a portion of the flexible covering. The support assembly includes a movement actuator configured to independently move at least some of the positioning elements and to form a golf cup at a desired location on the flexible covering by lowering the adjustable vertical position of the upper end of at least one of the positioning elements compared to an immediately adjacent positioning element.
