Abstract
A method of practicing and teaching golf comprises the step of projecting a golf ball into a ball hitting zone during a player's swing of a golf club, while the head of the club is approaching the hitting zone. The ball is projected to arrive in the hitting zone, in the path of the club head, immediately prior to sweep of the head into the zone. The apparatus for practicing and teaching golf comprises a station which provides a hitting zone through which the head of a golf club is swept by a player performing golf swings. A projection device is operable during the player's club swing, while the club head approaches the hitting zone, to strike a ball and thus pop it quickly into the zone in the path of the club head when the head sweeps into the zone.
