Abstract
A sports practice net assembly for stopping the flight of a projectile such as a golf ball, comprises a pair of side frame members with a central frame member disposed between them. The side frame members are preferably formed as closed loops. The central frame member has a pair of legs that extend across portions of the side frame members so that the lower ends of the legs and the lowermost portions of the side frame members support the sports practice net assembly on a generally horizontal surface. The first and second frame members are preferably are symmetrically arranged such that they are connected together at a rear portion of the sports practice net assembly and spaced apart at a front portion of the sports practice net assembly with an acute angle between their planes. The central frame member has first and second legs and an upper portion arranged to extend above the uppermost edges of the side frame members. The central frame member is arranged between the first and second side frame members with a first leg of the central frame member being connected to the first side frame member near a first front portion of the sports practice net assembly and a second leg of the central frame member being connected to the second side frame member near a second front portion of the sports practice net assembly. Netting is arranged on the frame members to stop the flight of a projectile.
