Golf Apparatus

Abstract

A golf apparatus on which a golf ball is placed for hitting with the head of a golf club. The apparatus includes a base having a first part which supports a user and a second resiliently deformable part over which a golf ball is in use positioned for hitting with the head of a golf club. A covering extends over substantially all of the first and second parts of the base.

1 . A golf apparatus comprising a base having a first part to support a user and a second, resiliency deformable part including a deformable elongate member over which a golf ball is in use positioned to be hit by a head of a golf club, wherein the golf apparatus includes a covering which substantially covers both the first and second parts of the base.  
   
   
       2 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the base includes a formation to receive the covering.  
   
   
       3 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the covering is a synthetic matting simulating grass.

       10 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 4  wherein the resiliency deformable elongate member is supported by formations on the base.  
   
   
       11 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 10  wherein the resiliently deformable elongate member is supported at its opposite ends.  
   
   
       12 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 4  wherein the base includes a cavity substantially beneath the resiliently deformable elongate member.  
   
   
       13 . A golf apparatus according to claim  41  wherein the apparatus includes a plurality of resiliently deformable elongate members.  
   
   
       14 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein the resiliently deformable elongate members are positioned substantially parallel to each other.  
   
   
       15 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 14  wherein the resiliently deformable elongate members are spaced from one another.  
   
   
       16 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the base is adjustable to accommodate different sizes of covering.  
   
   
       17 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 16  wherein the base includes a plurality of inter-engaging parts.  
   
   
       18 . A golf apparatus according to  claim 13  wherein the apparatus includes two sets of a plurality of resiliently deformable elongate members, separated by the part to support a user.
