Description

Golf practice sand pit mat

The present invention relates to a sand pit mat for golf practice, and more particularly to a sand pit mat in which a golf ball can be placed in the same environment as a bunker or rough grass area of an actual golf course, thereby being able to practice a variety of shots.

In general, golf refers to hitting a golf ball with a golf club that has stopped on the field and hitting a predetermined hole, and determining the winning competition based on the effective number of hits can cause considerable amount of exercise and interest. In recent years, people have received more and more attention. Furthermore, golf has gradually become a popular sport due to the reduction in the cost.

Sites capable of golfing in this way include hole holes and grass, open-air golf courses capable of actual competition, and indoor or outdoor golf driving ranges capable of practicing basic hitting and putting before going to open-air golf courses.

Since the open-air golf course can move directly between the hole and the hole and perform hitting and putting, it has the advantage of not only achieving a considerable amount of exercise, but also being able to perform actual combat, but it is severely affected by rain or snow. In addition to the restrictions of climate change, and due to the burden of the cost, the distance to the golf course, and the time, the use of indoor or outdoor golf driving range is gradually increasing. In particular, beginners need to practice adequately before going to the open-air golf course, so they need to use the indoor or outdoor golf driving range.

On the other hand, in a golf driving range such as an indoor or outdoor golf course, in a venue such as a personal golf driving range, in order to balance the user's standing while being able to put the golf ball on and hit, it is necessary to have a mat similar to a general fairway. Such a conventional golf practice mat will be described below with reference to the drawings.
