Abstract

A golf training device for utilization within a dwelling having a mounting frame of a general height carried by a floor. The golf training device includes resilient tarp flexibly carried by the mounting member via a plurality of suspension members at a location proximate the general height of the mounting member. The suspension members enabling the resilient tarp to hang from the mounting member in a manner enabling the tarp to deflect upon impact from a golf ball. The resilient tarp has indicia indicative of a golf course fairway.

Claims

a resilient tarp flexibly carried by said mounting member via a plurality of suspension members at a location proximate the general height of said mounting frame;

said suspension members enabling said resilient tarp to hang from said mounting member a manner enabling said tarp to deflect upon impact from a golf ball; and

said resilient tarp having indicia indicative of a golf course fairway.

2. The golf training device of claim 1 wherein said tarp is constructed from a tear resistance material selected from the group of canvas or rip stop.

3. The golf training device of claim 1 wherein said tarp is at least nine feet in height when suspended from said mounting member.

4. The golf training device of claim 1 wherein said tarp is flexible and foldable.

5. The golf training device of claim 1 further including a substrate having indicia representative of a second golf course fairway design including attachment mounts for being matingly attached to said tarp.

6. The golf training device of claim 5 wherein said tarp and substrate are sold as a kit and contain fairway designs of famous golf fairways.

7. A golf training device for utilization within a dwelling having a mounting member carried by a floor comprising:

a resilient tarp flexibly carried by said mounting member via a plurality of suspension members at a location proximate the general height of said mounting member;

said suspension members enabling said resilient tarp to hang from said mounting member in a manner enabling said tarp to deflect upon impact from a golf ball; and

said resilient tarp having indicia indicative of a plurality of targets at different heights and location on said tarp.

8. The golf training device of claim 7 wherein said tarp is constructed from a tear resistance material selected from the group of canvas or rip stop.

9. The golf training device of claim 8 wherein said tarp is at least nine feet in height when suspended from said mounting member.

10. The golf training device of claim 9 wherein said tarp is flexible and foldable.

11. A golf training device for utilization within a dwelling having a mounting member of a general height carried by a floor comprising:
