Abstract
An elevated golf target provides a portable and adjustable target for practicing golf. The elevated golf target consists of a concave target, a vertical support and a portable base unit. The elevated target preferably has a turf-like surface and can include a target hole, a collector hole and an upwardly projecting perimeter wall. A target surface presentation angle is adjustable with respect to the ground. When the golfer hits the target, the combination of a concave target surface, the target presentation angle and the perimeter wall increase the likelihood of the ball being retained on the target. The vertical support can allow for vertical adjustment of the target while the portable base allows an operator to easily change the location of the elevated golf target. The elevated golf target can be used individually or a plurality of targets can be utilized in a golf target system.
