1. A new and improved device for use in hitting golf shots when in a confined space comprising, in combination:

  • a first small inverted u-shaped member having parallel vertical legs and a linear horizontal cross leg coupling the upper ends of the parallel legs;

    a second large inverted u-shaped member having parallel vertical legs and a linear horizontal cross leg coupling the upper ends of the parallel legs;

    a main cable coupling the horizontal legs of the large inverted u-shaped member and the small inverted u-shaped member with the end of the cable attached to the large u-shaped member being at a higher elevation than the end of the cable attached to the smaller u-shaped member;

    attachment means in the form of a downwardly extending central spike co-axial with each vertical leg, each attachment means having an upwardly extending projection to be slidably received by the lower end of each vertical leg, and with a horizontally extending flange therebetween with apertures for receiving supplemental stakes to securely couple each inverted u-shaped member to the ground at a distance to maintain the main cable in a taut orientation;

    a hollow cylindrical sleeve secured about the main cable and traveling along the length thereof, the sleeve having a golf ball to be hit and a supplemental string having an upper end coupled to the sleeve and a lower end coupled to the golf ball to be hit with the length of the string sufficient to extend between the sleeve and the golf ball; and

    a supplemental ball secured to the main cable at each end thereof adjacent to the associated horizontal leg of its associated u-shaped member to limit the path of travel of the golf ball.
