Abstract: A golfing apparatus which has the combined function of an umbrella and a backstop for a low trajectory golf ball. In the umbrella configuration, the apparatus operates as a conventional umbrella and may be repositioned from a closed to an open position where the canopy portion of the umbrella extends downwardly in a bowed configuration. The canopy may be inverted to another position in which the canopy extends in an upward bowed configuration so that the canopy may be placed on its side to act as a backstop for practicing golf shots. The canopy includes pockets which act as targets and as receptacles for the golf ball when it strikes the target.
