Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is a golf practice practiced by a golfer practicing at a golf driving range, when the golfer makes an accurate shot and makes a hole-in-one in the green cup. It is related to the golf driving range green that makes the game enjoyable and improves the business performance.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Problems to be solved by the prior art: It is necessary to be fairly obsessive to keep practicing a practice ball for a few dozen silently at a golf driving range. is not.

The present invention provides a golf driving range green focused on improving the business performance of the driving range by allowing the practitioners to compete for accurate shots by adding fun to this difficult training. Is.

[0004]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The front side of the cup 3 on the upper surface of the green 1 of the golf driving range is formed into a front descent slope 1 ', and the cup 3 is provided near the top of this slope, and a flying ball 9'has a hole in one in the cup 3. The present invention relates to a golf driving range green, which is characterized in that a detecting device 5 for detecting such a fact is provided in a hole, and an informing device 4 operated by the detecting device 5 is provided at an appropriate place in the golf driving range.

[0006]

When the practitioner makes an accurate shot and the ball hits the cup 3 with good fortune, the alarm device 4 is operated by the instruction of the detection device 5 to inform the practitioner that a hole-in-one has been performed, Make the practice enjoyable by praising it so that other practitioners can understand it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the front side of the cup 3 on the upper surface of the green 1 of the driving range is formed as a front downward slope 1 ', and the vicinity of the top of the slope. A cup 3 is provided, a detection device 5 for detecting that a flying ball 9'has been hole-in-one is provided in the cup 3, and an informing device 4 operated by the detection device 5 is provided at an appropriate place in the golf driving range.

A more detailed description is as follows.

The front sloped surface 1'of the front side of the green 1 is preferably formed by forming the shape of the upper surface of the green 1 into a flat cone having a low height. Alternatively, the vicinity thereof is formed on the front downward slope 1 '. When the conical green 1 is used, it is unlikely that a lot of hit balls are accumulated on the front slope 1'and the hit balls that have climbed up to the middle of the slope 1'will also fall to the skirt. There are almost no pool balls in front of the green, and you can expect a hole-in-one with accurate shots.

The pole 11 with the flag 10 for indicating the position of the cup 3 is erected separately right behind the machine to simplify the structure of the machine.

Further, when it is erected in the cup 3, it may be provided so as to be inserted into the pole receiving cylinder 12 provided along with the ball receiving cylinder 12.

Further, the detecting device 5 may be inserted into the ball receiving cylinder 12 so as to stand upright toward the inner peripheral side surface, and the detecting device 5 using an optical sensor may be arranged in a vacant space.

The detecting device 5 can be designed in various ways, such as a method of detecting by blocking light, a method of capturing reflected light, or a method of simply pushing the spring switch piece to turn it on by passing the golf ball 9, and as shown in the drawing. For example, various designs can be made, such as a method of taking out the ball receiving cylinder 12 each time when 10 balls are inserted or a method of guiding a ball with a hole in one to the taking-out portion.

The notification light 7 is made to blink in the notification device 4,
It is desirable to rotate the hole-in-one notifying body 11, to provide a voice notifying means 8 for outputting a voice notifying the hall-in-one from a speaker, or to design a siren to sound.

The cup 3 has several kinds of cup green mats 13 provided with large and small holes so that the size thereof can be changed.
Prepare and replace it.

A locking collar portion in which a grip 14 is provided on the ball receiving cylinder 12
The figure shows a case in which 15 is provided so that the handle 14 can be pulled up by hand when a predetermined number of balls are accumulated.

A green mat 16 (using an artificial grass mat) laid on the upper surface of the green 1 is fixed to the upper surface of the machine body.

The ascending drive mechanism 6 is, for example, a small motor 17 that rotates in forward and reverse directions, a rack and pinion type elevating means 18, and a guide tube 1.
9. It is composed of an elevating cylinder 20 with a rack and the like, and a fixed inner cylinder 23 in which a guide cylinder 19 is erected inside the machine body is erected so that rainwater can be drained.

In the figure, reference numeral 21 is a drain pipe for removing rainwater, 22 is a transparent light protection cylinder, 24 is a ring provided on the upper portion of the machine body 2, and 25 is a portion where the ground other than the green 1 is exposed.

[0020]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, a large number of golfers practicing at a golf driving range can detect the joy of a hole-in-one with a detection device, and can also notify the person and other practitioners with a reporting device. Everyone will compete and be stimulated to hit the correct shots, making golf practice enjoyable and improving the entrance record of the trainees. At this time, in the present invention, the front side of the upper surface of the green is formed on the front downward slope, so the hit ball that does not reach the hole by rolling up on the green rolls down to the front side and the left and right skirts, and many hit balls are on the front side of the ball. You can expect a lot of practice effects, such as being able to achieve a hole-in-one with accurate shots, not fluke, to prevent scattering in the accumulated state, and become a golf driving range green.
