  • Patent number: 5564988
    Abstract: A golf ball receiving area can be the size of a conventional golf driving range, and is coordinately subdivided in area by pluralities of uniformly spaced latitude and longitude markers used for measuring both distance along and lateral deviation from an intended line of flight. At least one hitting area, small relative to the size of the receiving area, is adjacent the receiving area for simulating grassy driving areas of a golf course, e.g. a tee and a fairway. The intended line of flight preferably extends from the hitting area across the receiving area parallel to the longitude markers. Preferably near each hitting area is a small sand filled area, such as a small sand box, from which a player makes a sand shot. The sand areas simulate sand trap environments of a golf course. A score card depicts a birds-eye view of some or all the holes of a conventional golf course, and each hole depiction has longitudinal and latitudinal graduations.
