Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to provide a system for use by golf players, which takes up little space, enables varied and realistic practice and is preferably also suitable for staging tournaments.
  • the solution consists in that several teeing grounds oriented towards a common green are provided which differ from one another in that they represent different teeing conditions for the golf player playing on the green.
  • the tees are distributed around the green in the area. From different tees is z. B. played from different directions on the green.
  • the variation of the tee-off conditions can be that the tee-off sites have different distances from the green, that they are laid out in differently designed terrain (slope of the terrain, height difference between tee-off site and green etc.) or different subsoil (ground conditions, grass height etc.).
  • tees are arranged at different but very specific distances from the green.
  • the golfer can practice playing on the green from defined distances. He learns to estimate distances and to adjust his striking technique to this distance.
  • the tees are preferably distributed at least partially in a star shape around the green. The way in which the teeing grounds are arranged can be tailored to the environment in individual cases.
  • the tees preferably have different levels of difficulty. So z. B. in the teeing ground the Ge (if necessary artificially) inclined forward, sideways or backward. In connection with shorter distances (up to max. 50 m), the teeing ground can also be a sand bunker. There are , of course, still many other golf conditions that are known and sometimes feared in golf, which can be reproduced by suitably designed courses.
  • the green has at least one surface which is inclined towards a corresponding ball collecting point, so that all balls hitting the green roll to the ball collecting points. This prevents the green from being covered with balls over time.
  • an artificial green z. B a stretched film, a stretched fabric, mesh or the like.
  • a slightly funnel-shaped artificial green can be produced with little effort by stretching material webs of the type mentioned above between an inner small and an outer large ring.
  • the material is preferably such that the kinetic energy of the incoming balls is destroyed so well that the balls cannot jump out of the green.
  • a fine mesh or water-permeable fabric has the advantage that not all water flows into the ball collecting point when it rains. Instead of a ball collecting point, several or even collecting channels can also be provided.
  • the green can be arranged recessed in the ground in such a way that it merges flush with the surrounding green area at the edge.
  • this container In the ball collection point of the green there is a device for collecting the balls (containers). In a simple embodiment, this container is to be emptied by hand. It is, of course, more convenient if the balls are automatically returned and transported to automatic ball dispensers.
  • ball dispensers can either be arranged at a central location (e.g. at the cash register) or distributed at the teeing grounds.
  • the green is preferably round. However, it can also be oval or have another suitable shape.
  • the ball collecting point does not necessarily have to be in the middle.
  • earth walls integrated in the terrain are advantageously used inconspicuously. If this is not enough, wire grids can be set up at suitable points. Devices for catching incorrectly hit balls are particularly necessary for long drives.
  • a suitable arrangement of the tees e.g. if the tees are arranged elliptically around the common green), the risk for the players on the other tees can be minimized.
  • a plant can also have several greens, each with several teeing grounds according to the invention.
  • the system according to the invention can be completed by a so-called 18-hole putting green. Golfers can practice putting on this. Further advantageous combinations of features of the invention result from the detailed description and the entirety of the claims.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan of a system according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an artificial green.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a plan of a plant according to the invention.
  • B. 18 tees 2.1, ..., 2.18. They are arranged in different, but well-defined distances from the center 3 of the green 1. In the present example, the distances vary from at least 30 m (teeing ground 2.5) to a maximum of 180 m (teeing ground 2.14) in steps of 10 meters. At each teeing ground 2.1,..., 2.18 it is known at what distance to the common green 1 it is arranged. As a result, players can practice targeted. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the teeing grounds 2.1,..., 2.18 are essentially placed on an oval around the green 1.
  • a certain angular range namely that between the teeing ground 2.1 and the teeing ground 2.18, is not used, but is kept free.
  • a grandstand 4 from which both all teeing grounds 2.1,..., 2.18 and the common green 1 can be surveyed. The grandstand can of course also be omitted.
  • the tees 2.1, ..., 2.18 can be designed so that several players can tee off at the same time.
  • tee-off conditions result from the different distances alone.
  • the teeing grounds themselves can be designed differently.
  • B a slope in the direction of green 1 and the other such be provided laterally to the direction mentioned.
  • different grasses or grass heights, different surfaces can create the required variations.
  • the area between the tees and the artificial green should not be entered while playing. Badly hit balls will accumulate there over time and must be collected after the end of the game (e.g. with a ball collecting machine). It is of course also possible to subtly design this terrain, which is no longer used for the game, in such a way that the balls collect in certain points.
  • the teeing grounds diametrically opposite one another are preferably arranged at approximately the same or at least comparable distances from the center. In this way, the risk of balls being hit too far for other players can be considerably reduced. In practice it should happen very rarely that a player misjudges himself by a factor of 2 when hitting the ball, ie he hits the ball twice as far as he actually wanted. Where there is still danger, wire grids or other networks can be set up. Earth mounds stacked at a suitable location and in a suitable size are advantageous.
  • the green 1 has an inclined surface such that all balls hitting the green roll to the ball collecting point.
  • the green 1 comprises, as an inclined surface, between an inner and an outer ring 12, respectively. 11 stretched tissue 5.
  • the outer ring (and thus the artificial green 1) has a diameter of z. B. 30-40 m.
  • the inner ring 12 represents a ball collection point 6 and has a diameter of z. B. 30-40 cm. Because the inner ring 12 is arranged somewhat lower than the outer ring 11, the fabric 5 forms a conical surface.
  • the ball collecting point 6 ie below the inner ring 12, there is a container 7 which collects the balls.
  • the balls pass through a channel 8 from the container 7 to a first end station of a purely schematically indicated loading station 9 of an automatic ball transport system.
  • the Balls are automatically transported to a starter house or to ball dispensing machines set up at different locations.
  • a large container instead of the loading station 9, a large container can be provided, which is emptied during the game breaks or replaced by an empty container.
  • Semi-automatic systems, conveyor belts, slide systems, rail transport systems and combinations thereof can also be used.
  • the artificial green i.e. H. the covered area is advantageously integrated in the finish area. That is, the outer edge of the green is more or less flush with the surrounding soil.
  • the container 7 is then preferably located in a depression 10 in the base.
  • the loading station 9 resp. a container provided in their place is preferably also sunk in the area so as not to disturb the players.
  • the green is not surrounded by teeing grounds from all sides (e.g. if the teeing grounds are semicircular, angled, etc. or as shown in FIG. 1), then as a rule it does not bother when the loading station protrudes from the ground.
  • the artificial green need not necessarily be a spanned area. It can also be an inclined surface formed in the terrain and planted with fine lawn. It is also possible to form a sheet or plastic mold and line it with carpets, mats, foam plastic or similar shock-absorbing materials. If the artificial green is too hard, the balls spit away.
  • the green can also be divided into several ring-shaped zones. Each zone is e.g. B .. funnel-shaped and has a ball collecting channel on its inner side. With the help of an electronic hit detection system, the player can then determine where exactly the ball has landed.
  • the invention makes it possible to operate the golf game even in relatively small spaces (4-5 ha).
  • a tee of z. B. 21 m allows up to seven players to tee off at the same time. With 18 tees, up to 126 players can practice.
  • the system according to the invention is not limited to use as an exercise area. Rather, counting games or even tournaments can be carried out. If the system is supplemented by an 18-hole putting green, in which there are 18 different holes with different levels of difficulty, then the golfer can deal with all aspects of the game of golf.

Abstract

Dans une installation pour golfeurs, plusieurs emplacements de départ (2.1, ..., 2.18) sont orientés vers un green commun (1). Ces emplacements (2.1, ..., 2.18) se distinguent les uns des autres par le fait qu'ils offrent des conditions de départ différentes pour les joueurs qui visent le green commun (1). De préférence, ce green constitue une surface à partie surélevée et en forme d'entonnoir, telle que les balles qui arrivent roulent vers un point de collecte des balles.
