[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a putting green body for golf, and more particularly to a putting green body capable of selecting a hole to be used in a current game from holes provided in advance on the same green.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The inventor of the present invention has proposed several golf clubs that can be played on a site area considerably smaller than the existing golf course area, and calls them "mini golf" and "OK golf". "

[0003] because this mini-golf, the start of the competition from the tee ground, there is no change to the current of golf is that it cup in the golf ball in the hole on the green, the atmosphere of the current of each hole It is smaller than that of a golf course, and the site area is 16,000 to 50,000 tsubo.
Then, the competition is performed based on certain rules.

[0004] The OK golf can be played on a golf course smaller than the mini golf,
Compete in 9 holes par 36. The ground area of the golf course is about 8,000 tsubos or 25,000 tsubos, and O
This is a characteristic golf game in which an area called a K zone is set, and if a hit ball stays in the OK zone, one hit can be added to the number of hits in the game and the hole can be out without hitting the ball.

[0005] Generally, only one hole is provided in each green of each hole of a golf course, and when this green hole is fixed permanently and the competition is repeated for a long period of time, the green hole is provided. The athlete can grasp the habit of how to attack at the stadium, so the interest is reduced by half. Also,
There is a problem that the lawn around the hole is damaged and the green appearance is impaired.

For this reason, it is necessary to change the location of the hall from time to time. In such a case, conventionally, the soil of the part that will become a new hole is cut out in a cylindrical shape together with the lawn, and it is inserted into the front hole and the location of the hole is changed so that it can not be distinguished from the surrounding green I have.

However, the change of the hole as described above is troublesome, and sometimes the lawn dies or the green provided with an angulation does not match the depth of the hole with the height of the hollow cylindrical soil. Extra work is required to prepare In order to solve these problems, a putting green has been proposed in which an OK zone having a circular shape and having a hole in the center is detachably provided on the green, and the hole is changed for each OK zone.
Since the zone is formed to be much larger than the hole, there is a problem that it is not possible to carry around without leaving the green or attaching to the green unless several people work.

[0008]

This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to change a hole without removing the entire OK zone. A cover is used for a hole used before the change. An object of the present invention is to provide a putting green body for a golf course, which can restore a green simply by being fitted into the golf club, and can easily work alone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the putting green body of the present invention. In the figure, putting green body 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as green 1)
Has a substrate 1a and is formed, for example, in a substantially oval shape. A plurality of circular OK zones 2 are formed in the green 1, and a hole 3 is formed in the center of each OK zone 2. FIG. 1 shows an example in which a flag 4 is erected on one of them, and the other holes are closed by a lid described later and are in the same state as the surface of the green 1. ing. The base 1a can be formed of synthetic resin powder or granules, wood sawdust, soil, or a porous material such as sponge or foamed resin, a simple substance such as rubber, or a molded body formed by appropriately mixing these materials. . By the way, when the base 1a is formed of a simple substance of the soil, there is no distinction between the ground and the base 1a. In this case, the base 1a becomes the ground and is not a simple substance of the soil, that is, When the base 1a is formed of a mixture of synthetic resin powder and sawdust,
Such a portion laid on the upper part of the ground becomes the base 1a. The surface layer of the green 1 is made of artificial turf, and each OK zone 2 has a color different from the color of the surface layer of the base 1a and is separated from the color of the surface layer of the base 1a. The color of the surface layer of each OK zone 2 and the base 1a may be different from each other, or the color of the surface layer of some of the OK zones 2 may be the same color and the color of the surface layer of the other OK zones may be different. The color of the surface layer of the base 1a can be set to various colors such as another color.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing details of the OK zone. In the figure, O shown on the surface of the base 1a
The K zone 2 is a perfect circle, and the diameter of the hole 3 at the center is about 108 mm and the depth is about 100 mm.
The diameter of the OK zone 2 is set to about 800 mm. The OK zone 2 may be formed integrally with the base 1a or may be formed separately so as to be separated from the base 1a. When formed separately, the material is
It can be formed of the same material as a. Also, this OK
The surface layer of zone 2 is also made of artificial turf.

When a game is played on the green 1 in which the OK zone 2 is formed, the golf ball 5 located on the green 1 outside the OK zone 2 is aimed at the hole 3 by a putter. Hit in the direction of arrow A. At this time, the golf ball 5 does not enter the hole 3 and
Even if the player stops within the OK zone 2 indicated by the dashed line, the game on the fairway can be completed by adding one hit to the hit number of hits in the "OK golf".

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. In the figure, a hole 3 is formed between a cylindrical body 3a and the housing.
It is formed by a can 3b having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter . A bottom plate 3c is formed on the cylindrical body 3a, and a small cylindrical body 3d extends downward from a central portion thereof. And
The cylinder 3a and the can 3b are made of metal or synthetic resin. The can 3b is fixed to the bottom of a hole provided in the base 1a, and the cylinder 3a is placed on the can 3b. As a result, the outer peripheral walls of the cylindrical body 3a and the can body 3b are fixedly surrounded by the inner wall of the hole.

The cylinder 3a is provided with a hook 7 on the small cylinder 3d.
Is inserted, the hook 7 is slightly twisted, the hook of the hook 7 is hooked on the edge of the small cylinder 3d, and the hook 7 is pulled up. The hole can be easily removed from the hole. Therefore, the cylindrical body 3
a can be attached to and detached from the hole.

The hole 3 shown in FIG. 3 is in a state of being used during the competition, and the unused hole 3 during the competition will be described below. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an unused hole during a competition.

In the same figure, the unused hole 3 has a lid 8 provided on the can 3b instead of the cylindrical body 3a. The lid 8 has the same outer diameter as the cylindrical body 3a, and is placed in communication with the can 3b. The lid 8 is made of the same material as the base 1a,
For example, it is formed in a cylindrical shape with rubber. This is the central portion of the lid 8 is provided with a hole 9, the surface portion of the lid 8 before
It communicates with the surface part of the OK zone and almost the same horizontal plane and is made of artificial turf. Therefore, the artificial turf on the surface of the cover 8 can be matched well with the artificial turf on the surface of the OK zone. The diameter of the through hole 9 provided in the lid 8 is smaller than the diameter of the golf ball.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example of artificial turf forming a green. In the figure, an artificial turf 6 used for the green 1 is formed by laminating three layers of a turf portion 10, a restoring member 11, and a synthetic fiber mat 12. The turf section 10 is composed of a water-permeable sheet 10a and a bristle foot 10b planted on the water-permeable sheet 10a. The water permeable sheet 10a is formed of a material such as synthetic rubber and has a large number of drain holes, and the bristle feet 10b are formed of, for example, nylon, polypropylene, or the like in a strip shape like a natural turf, and , Is colored green. The restoring member 11 is laminated below the turf section 10,
1a are arranged in a mesh pattern. The foamed resin material 11a is, for example, a polyethylene foamed resin formed in an elongated rod shape.

The synthetic fiber mat 12 is laminated below the restoring member 11, and is formed in a thin flat plate shape. Since the artificial turf 6 is formed in this way,
When it rains on artificial turf 6, or when watering is performed,
The water accumulated on the surface of the artificial turf 6 is transmitted downward, and the water is transmitted downward from between the meshes of the restorable member 11. The synthetic fiber mat 12 is excellent in water permeability because it is formed of, for example, a nylon non-woven fabric, and water that has passed through the restoring member 11 penetrates the synthetic fiber mat 12 and further lowers. It is transmitted to.

Hereinafter, the putting green 1 having the above structure will be described.
A case where a golf course to which the above is applied is used will be described below. First, when starting a competition, one OK zone is selected from the plurality of OK zones 2. Then, the lid 8 of the hole 3 provided in the OK zone is removed, and a flag is set there. Next, the color of the selected OK zone is notified to each competitor, and each competitor starts a competition aiming at the OK zone and the hole.

As the game progresses, the golf ball is green 1
When a player approaches, a flag is set in the hole of the selected OK zone on the green, so that each competitor can immediately know the hole 3 to be used. After that, when the game is started on the green 1, the color of the OK zone shown around the used hole 3 can be clearly recognized from the green of the green. Then, when the golf ball enters the OK zone in use or the hole inside the OK zone, the game on the fairway ends. When changing the hole, the lid is fitted into the hole in the OK zone that has been used, and the lid of the hole in another OK zone is removed. This operation can be easily performed by one person because the diameter of the lid is about 10 cm.

[0021]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a new hole can be used by simply removing the lid of one hole provided in each OK zone without removing the entire OK zone. In other words, it is possible to restore the green simply by inserting the lid into the hole that has been used so far, and to obtain a golf course putting green body that can be easily operated by one person. In addition, the lid is structurally
The surface is flat and does not shake when riding
To ensure that stability is maintained without stumbling
