Benefits of technology

[0015] It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
[0016] It is further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat which is durable and reliable construction.
[0017] An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat economically available to the buying public.

Problems solved by technology

While this device fulfills its respective, particular objective and requirements, it does not describe a multi-section golf practice mat that can be sub-surface and still maintain the same parallel plane surface with the natural earth.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, they do not describe a multi-section golf practice mat that can be sub-surface and still maintain a parallel plane with the natural earth surface.
A further drawback to the aforementioned prior arts is the size of their embodiment, making the ease of use cumbersome.
Yet another drawback of the aforementioned prior arts is the fact that they must be laid on a flat surface in order to eliminate ridges and valleys in which they are susceptible to contour.
A further drawback of the aforementioned prior arts being they can not have a sub-surface application while maintaining the same parallel plane with the natural earth.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The preferred embodiment of the present invention can be best described by referring to FIG. 1 thru FIG. 8. FIG. 1 being a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat installed sub-surface in accordance with the principles of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat before being placed in a sub-surface condition. FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat, showing sub-container 10 configured to provide optimum stability means such as pyramid shaped. Said sub-container 10 shall be filled with weighted means such as sand. Channel railing 12 surrounding all sides, shall hold and support removable / replaceable mat 14 when slid into place. Mat 14 will have applied a plurality of simulated grass 16 (grass texture removed for clarity). A membrane 18 backing means will provide separa...

Abstract

A sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat comprising: a plurality of resilient substrate emulating the density of the natural earth soil. Said substrate having adhered a plurality of artificial grass surfaces emulating the natural earth grass. Aforementioned sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat having a frame surround, whereas said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat and frame surround befall and exist amalgamated. Furthermore, said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat optionally attached to a container. Said container recessed below the earth surface allowing said simulated grass to maintain parallel plane with the natural earth grass surface. Furthermore said container shall be wrought and weighted to provide optimum stability for said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat. Furthermore said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat can be optionally independent of aforementioned container. Whereas, said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat can be optionally independent and in-ground, whereby said simulated grass maintains parallel plane with the natural earth grass surface. Aforementioned sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat being optionally independent of container and can be used above ground. Furthermore, said sub-surface multi-purpose golf practice mat optionally independent of container and above ground used in conjunction with a separate standing mat. Aforementioned multi-purpose golf practice mat and said standing mat maintain parallel.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a golf practice mat and more particularly pertains to simulating multiple surfaces that a golfer must hit off during a round of golf. [0002] When a golf ball is hit with a golf club a divot is taken out of the ground, a divot being a chunk of turf. In lieu of damaging their yards a golfer will normally go to a practice range and hit golf balls off a rubber practice mat. Generally, these mats are laid on a concrete surface giving an unrealistic practice setting. [0003] The present invention seeks to provide a golf practice mat with a plurality of golfing surfaces, whereby the practice mat can be placed in the ground and at ground level, giving a realistic practice setting. Furthermore, the invention will eliminate divots being taken thereby saving the golfers landscape. Additionally, the golf mat can be removed and used in conjunction with a separate standing mat, allowing a mobile practice area. Additionally, said m...
