Abstract
An apparatus for practicing golf swings is provided having a pair of spaced parallel side members, a first cross member attached to an end of each one of the pair of side members, a second cross member attached to the opposite end of each one of the pair of side members in such a manner that the second cross member is free to be rotated relative to said opposite end of the pair of side members, a sheet of simulated grass material on a rectangular sheet of substantially inelastic material which is attached to the first and second cross members for supporting a golf ball and a mechanism for locking the second cross member in position relative to the ends of said side members after a predetermined amount of tension has been applied to the rectangular sheet of material by rotating the second cross member in a direction which results in applying tension to the rectangular sheet of material.
