Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently carry out a work for collecting golf balls via the use of a water flow by forming a recess at several positions on a floor laid over a parking lot. CONSTITUTION:A structural frame 2 is assembled with a light gauge steel or the like over a parking lot 1, and a floor 3 with gentile slope is laid on the frame 2. Also, the floor is provided with recesses at several positions, and piping 7 from a submerged pump 6 laid in a water reservoir 6 is connected to the recesses for jetting water therefrom. Water is thereby made to flow from the upper position of the floor 3 and randomly positioned golf balls are collected into the reservoir 5, together with water. Then, the water collected into the reservoir 5 is again circulated from the piping 7 to each position of the floor 3 on the operation of the pump 6. According to this construction, the collection of golf balls otherwise requiring much labor cost can be undertaken efficiently at a low cost. Also, a customer is free from concern about punishment for illegal parking due to the shortage of parking space.

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf driving range built on a parking lot and a golf ball collecting device using a water flow. [0002] [Prior Art] Conventionally, there is no golf training field that completely exposes the sky above the parking lot and uses it for the course. [0003] [Problems to be solved by the invention] A conventional driving range requires a large area of land, and moreover, it requires a land area for a parking lot for a visitor vehicle which is equal to or more than that of an open-air course. In urban areas, securing such sufficient land is a serious problem that is even said to be extremely difficult. The present invention solves all of the problems related to the land difficulty in the golf driving range. Further, the most labor-intensive work in golf driving range management is to collect scattered golf balls. It is also an object to provide an apparatus for efficiently performing this work by using a water flow. [0004] [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the gantry (2) is assembled on the parking lot (1) according to the present invention with a light steel frame and the floor (3) having a gentle slope is laid on the gantry (2). The floor (3) is provided with convex portions in some places, and water is jetted from above by jetting water between them by a pipe (7) from an underwater pump (6) installed in the water tank (5). And the golf balls scattered around are collected in the water tank (5). The water tank (5) serves as a place for collecting the golf ball by circulating and injecting the water flowing in together with the golf ball from the pipe (7) to the famous spot on the floor (3) by the submersible pump (6) again. {0005} {Action} The floor (3) laid on the gantry (2) made on the parking lot (1) has a concave part for flowing water and a convex part for the green to be exposed, and then falls. The ball is erected so that it can roll easily.
The golf balls collected on these floors (3) are carried to the water tank (5) together with the water flow by the water supply from the water tank (5) by the submersible pump (6) and are collected. {0006} {Example} An example will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a gantry (2) is assembled on the parking lot (1) by a lightweight steel frame or the like, and a floor (3) having a gently sloped uneven portion is erected. Floor (3) is at bat box (8)
The more driven golf ball hits the ball-proof net (9) and falls into the recess. These golf balls are made to flow together with water from the sodium hydroxide (5) by the water jetted by the submersible pump (6) and collected in the water tank (5). {0007} {Effects of the Invention} Since the present invention is configured as described above, the effective use of a large area of land that a conventional golf training course has, and the most labor cost in golf driving range management. It is possible to efficiently collect such scattered golf balls at the lowest cost. Recently, a practice course with a long flight distance of a ball has been favored, and a site for a golf practice field is required to be a vast area. Moreover, the problem of parking lots, which requires more land than an open-air course, is becoming an increasingly serious problem in conjunction with the revision of the garage law. A golf driving range where customers are punished for illegal parking due to lack of parking is never established. [0008] The present invention solves these problems.
A parking lot is created under a golf practice course that has not been used until now. Under the vast practice course, a parking lot can be used as a parking lot, which solves the problems of the parking lot at once. [0009] Further, among the golf course management, the golf ball collecting work scattered about is the most labor-intensive work,
The present invention utilizes water flow from a submersible pump to most efficiently perform golf ball collection operations. A golf ball that has fallen into a shallow river formed on a floor with a gentle slope is collected in a water tank via a waterway by the water flow of an underwater pump that is sent by piping from the water tank. The water stored in the water tank is sent again by the submersible pump and is used for collecting golf balls, so there is no water loss and it is economical. On the {0009} open-air course, signs and flags indicating the distance are set up to create a mood as a golf driving range, but all are made of lightweight materials. In addition, the ball collection recesses and waterways are shallow enough to allow golf balls to flow with water, and since the load on the floor is small, the beams used to receive the floor material are small. Since the overhead height may be low, this is also very advantageous in terms of the structure of the open-air course and the parking lot.
