APPARATUS FOR GOLF PRACTICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 702,828, datedJ une y1'?, 1902. Appnaion ined october 10,1901. senti no. 78,267. (No man.)
T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALFRED Bow-MAN SMITH, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Rhodell, Hamilton road, Reading, England, have invented new and'useful Improvements in 'Apparatus for Golf Practice,
of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a golf-exerciser or apparatus for golf practice, the primary object being to provide means whereby the game of golf may be satisfactorily practiced at home either indoors or outdoors and the accuracy and strength of the drive ofthe player closely gaged. Y
Afurther object of the invention is to provide a target for golf practice so constructed that the ball will be arrested if it fails to strike the target and in case it hits the target will be returned by a rebound without danger of injury to the player or others.
The invention comprises a target which will insure the harmless rebound of the ball and in the detail characteristic features which will be fully described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, anddefined in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of a golf-exerciser embodying the invention adapted for outdoor use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the target or iiight-gage. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the rear side of the target and means for securing the same on the ground. Fig. 4 is a modified form of target, and Fig. 5 is a view in perspective of the seeing-ground employed in connection with the apparatus.
The reference-numeral l designates a net of wire-cloth or any other suitable fabric supported in vertical position by standards 2, the latter being either driven into the ground, as shown in Fig. l, or otherwise supported when the apparatus is used indoors.
3 designates the target or flight-gage, consisting of a plate of any material which will insure the rebound of a ball striking it, as
wood, metal, or vitreous material. The lower end of the target rests on the ground, and from a point 4 adjacent to said lower end the plate is inclined forward, as clearly shown. 5o
VThe targetl may be secured in position centrally in front of the net by means of parallel rods 5, sharpened at their lower ends and passed through eyes or keepers 6 on the back of the inclined portion of the target. The forward inclination of the target prevents the ball in its rebound after striking the target' from glancing upward and striking the player or others.
The standards 2 are preferably braced by 6o guy-ropes '7.
8 designates a tape-line laid on the ground and extending from the screen toward the player, and said tape-line measures the distance of rebound of the ball, and thus determines the strength of the drive. A row of pegs 9 may be substituted for the tape-line.
In Fig. 5 of the drawings Ihave illustrated a teeing board or plate 1l,consisting of an oblong plate of suitable material having at 7o its inner end a strip of metal l2 to keep it flat upon the surface, and at the proper point in the plate is secured a rubber tee 13, on the top of which the ball :is placed preparatory to being hit and driven against the target, as indicated.
I claiml. In a golf-practice apparatus, a target consisting of a vertical base-plate and a forwardly inclined and upwardly-extending 8o plate, substantially as specied.
2. In a golf-practicing apparatus, a target consisting of a base portion and a forwardlyinclined upper portion, and downwardly-extending fastening rods to hold the target 85 against rearward movement.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALFRED BOWMAN SMITI-I.
