Abstract
An apparatus for practicing a golf swing is described comprising a sheet of simulated grass material having its own backing attached to a separate underlying sheet of substantially inelastic material, such as nylon, which is suspended above an open space for supporting a golf ball. The supporting apparatus comprises a pair of spaced rail members and a pair of spaced risers over which the sheet or combination of sheets is suspended. In use, the ball supporting sheet or combination of sheets is depressed when struck by the head of a golf club when the club is swung 'through' a ball in a manner which normally would result in making a divot in the natural turf of a golf course. The apparatus may also be used with a conventional wooden or plastic tee.
