| 20090137334 | Method and apparatus for striking golf balls simulating the angular stances frequently found during play on a course - An efficient, low cost and versatile golf practice device, which stimulates the angular stances frequently found during play on a course. The practicing golfer stands on top of a turf practice platform. This platform sits flat on top a region comprising a plane. The plane cuts off a slice of the area of a sphere. The plane faces north towards the sky while the opposite side is comprised of a curved arc portion that faces south, towards the earth. The spherical slice, (containing the flat platform), fits as a male portion into and on top of a female inverted dome region. The female spherical slice itself encompasses a space less than a full hemisphere. The female spherical slice is set inside the top surface of a rectangular box of length and width proportions roughly similar to an average driving range mat. The golfer stands on the platform and is capable of simulating a plurality of hitting conditions using the simple process of manual adjustment. | 05-28-2009 |
