Description

  The present invention relates to a weight placed on a hole post of a ground golf and a hole post having the weight.

  A hole post used for ground golf has a bottom circle with a diameter of 36 cm, an upper circle with a diameter of 20 cm above 11 cm of the bottom circle, and a structure in which a pole stands vertically on the upper circle. The pole is screwed to a bolt projecting from a support plate provided at the upper part of the upper circle, and a bell is attached to the lower surface of the support plate (see Patent Document 1).

Since the hole post is provided with a flag indicating the hole number at the tip of the pole, it is easy to fall over or move due to strong winds or the like. For this reason, a weight is usually placed on the support plate to prevent it from falling or moving.

Are screwed on. However, since ground golf is a sport that is enjoyed by elderly people and children, it is dangerous to lift the weight 1, and it is difficult to attach the long pole 4 and insert the weight 1 from its tip. If the pole 4 is inserted after the weight 1 is placed on the support plate 3, the position of the hole is shifted, and when the pole 4 is inserted, the tip of the pole cannot be seen, so the installation of the pole 4 is troublesome.

  As shown in FIG. 16, a weight 6 having a slit 5 that opens to the side is also known. The weight 6 can be attached by attaching the pole 4 and then pressing the pole 5 with the slit 5 facing the pole 4. However, since the pole 4 is only inserted between the slits 5, the hole post is installed after the weight 6 is installed. There is a risk that the weight 6 will easily fall off the pole 4 if the is moved.

Furthermore, the conventional weight has a problem that it is inconvenient to carry and handle because it is a single lump as described above.
