  • Patent number: 4913442
    Abstract: The golf tee mat of the present invention comprises a sliding pad mounted in and surrounded by a U-shaped stance pad. Said stance pad accommodates a practicing golfer's planted feet and comprises a stiff, slippery, base sheet overlain and partially covered by a U-shaped, artificial turf-covered support layer. The sliding pad has a stiff, flexible, slippery base overlain with a resilient cushion and a layer of artificial turf; it nests resiliently in the space left uncovered between the arms of the U-shaped support layer. The sliding pad is in tongue and groove relation with the stance pad over short length near its exposed end, the rest of the stance pad's length being free to propagate a wave ahead of a swinging golf club's head to simulate the feel of taking a divot.The mat further includes a cavity containing a mass of pliable matter, such as clay or putty, into which a tee may be inserted for practicing drives with wood clubs.

  • Patent number: 4889341
    Abstract: A golf swing analyzer is disclosed having, in combination, a teeing area with a teeing mat, foot planting mat and ball tee, a rigid, upstanding target board placed a short distance from the teeting area and rebound board disposed horizontally in front of the target board for receiving the rebound of a practice ball off the target board. This swing analyzer is used by driving a powder carrying, resilient, yet energy-absorbing, practice ball against the target board from the tee. The accuracy of the shot and the spin put on the ball are determined by analysis of the powder marks left on the target and rebound boards.
