Abstract
A portable practice golf driving range including a tethered golf ball which is driven from an area of artificial turf. The tethering is of nylon cord which is connected to a spring steel spike driven into the ground, the spring steel being of sufficient resiliency that the ball will not be torn free from the nylon cord. Tension on the artificial turf may be adjusted to alter the characteristic lie of the golf ball when it is being driven.
