Abstract: A golf swing practice mat including a ball practice area and a resistance area is disclosed to provide a physical resistance to the club head at the time of ball impact and through the follow through. In one embodiment, the golf mat comprises a generally rectangular rubber base and a simulated grass material overlying the rubber base. The simulated grass upper layer may be a typical fairway length simulated grass. The mat has a central ball placement area which may include a tee and a resistance area in front of the ball placement area, i.e. in the follow-through area immediately after striking the ball. The spacing of the resistance area from the ball placement area, and or tee may be variable.
Abstract: A method is disclosed for collaboratively playing golf in an optional selective shot format by a group of golf players on a golf course using a single set of golf clubs and a single golf ball. Players use a novel golf tee configured particularly for team golf to inhibit side spin of the golf ball upon impact by the golf club.
