Abstract: The golf practice apparatus has a large target supported by two supports connected at diametrically opposed areas on the large target. For stability, the two supports are connected to one another by a cross member and ground stakes engaging the supports can be inserted into the ground. Successively smaller targets are connected to the larger target. The smaller targets are connected to the large target by a pair of straps. Each pair of straps consists of two sections. The straps are sewn to the middle sized target and have two ends extending radially in each direction from the large target. The straps are wrapped around and secured to both the large target and smaller target. Once wrapped around the respective target, the strap is secured to itself by such conventional means as snaps. In this manner, the smaller target can be removed from the middle target and the middle target can be removed from the larger target.

Abstract: A device comprising a housing that can be in the form of two plates spaced apart with a gap or open region spaced therebetween. Coupled to this housing is at least one brush comprising a set of bristles such as nylon bristles and at least one arm rotatably coupled to this housing. There can also be at least one additional brush comprising a set of metal bristles which are essentially stiffer than the nylon brushes wherein these bristles are coupled to at least one arm rotatably coupled to the housing. There are at least two hinges for rotatably coupling the at least one arm of the at least one brush and the at least one arm of the at least one additional brush to the housing. There are also at least two stoppers coupled to the housing for stopping a rotation of the brush and the at least one additional brush out of the housing. In addition to assist the user in rotating the brushes out of the housing, each of the arms can include at least one protrusion extending out therefrom.

Abstract: A combination golf ball retriever and dispenser comprises a shag bag and two tubes. The first tube is a conventional golf ball retrieving tube which may be screwed into a collar at the base of the bag. Golf balls retrieved through the tube may be stored in the bag by inverting the retrieving tube. Stored golf balls may be dispensed by removing the retrieving tube and screwing into its place a dispensing tube on an extending collar which surrounds a hole at the bottom of the bag. A selective dispenser is secured to the end of the second leg and comprises a pivotally mounted spring loaded bar having two prongs. A pivotally secured lever arm may press down on the arm thereby compressing the spring and moving one prong out of the interior of the second leg and the second prong through the slot and into the interior of the second leg.

Abstract: Disclosed is a combination golf ball retrieving and dispensing apparatus which comprises a shag bag and two tubes. The first tube is a conventional golf ball retrieving tube which may be screwed into a collar at the base of the bag. Golf balls retrieved through the tube may be stored in the bag by inverting the retrieving tube. Stored golf balls may be dispensed by removing the retrieving tube and screwing into its place a dispensing tube on an extending collar which surrounds a hole at the bottom of the bag. The dispensing tube is L-shaped with one free end secured to the collar of the shag bag. Balls are dispensed through the bag and through the first leg (which is connected to the collar) and the second of the L-shaped legs. A selective dispenser is secured to the end of the second leg and comprises a pivotally mounted spring loaded bar having two prongs. The prongs extend through a slot in the wall of the second leg.
