Abstract

A golf mat assembly includes a mat that can be positioned on uneven terrain on a golf course. A handle is integrated into the mat to grip for carrying the mat. A pad is coupled to the mat and guide indicia are printed on the pad for pointing in the desired direction on the golf course. A tee is coupled to and extends upwardly from the pad for having a golf ball positioned thereon when the mat is positioned on the uneven terrain to enhance the user's ability to shoot the golf ball on the uneven terrain. A plurality of cones is each coupled to and extends downwardly from the mat to inhibit the mat from being displaced on the uneven terrain.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf mat assembly for positioning on uneven terrain on a golf course to facilitate a golf shot, said assembly comprising:
 a mat being configured to be positioned on uneven terrain on a golf course, wherein said mat has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said perimeter edge being continuously arcuate about a center point of said mat such that said mat has a disk shape, said mat being comprised of a flexible material;   a handle being integrated into said mat wherein said handle is configured to be gripped for carrying said mat;   a pad being coupled to said mat, said pad comprising artificial turf wherein said pad is configured to simulate grass on the golf course, said pad having a single guide indicia being printed thereon wherein said guide indicia is configured to be pointed in a desired direction on the golf course;   a tee being coupled to and extending upwardly from said pad wherein said tee is configured to have a golf ball positioned thereon when said mat is positioned on the uneven terrain thereby enhancing a user's ability to shoot the golf ball on the uneven terrain; and   a plurality of cones, each of said cones being coupled to and extending downwardly from said mat wherein each of said cones is configured to engage the uneven terrain to inhibit said mat from being displaced on the uneven terrain.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said bottom side of said mat has a lip extending downwardly therefrom, said lip being aligned with said perimeter edge, said lip extending around a full circumference of said perimeter edge. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said handle comprises a pair of outward members each extending away from said perimeter edge of said mat and a central member extending between said pair of outward member, said central member being spaced from said perimeter edge of said mat to define a hand space between said central member and said perimeter edge wherein said hand space is configured to accommodate a user's hand for gripping said central member. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said pad has a lower surface, an upper surface and an outer edge, said lower surface being bonded to said top side of said mat, said outer edge being spaced from said perimeter edge of said mat, said outer edge being co-arcuate with said perimeter edge such that said pad has a disk shape, said guide indicia being printed on said upper surface, said guide indicia comprising an elongated stripe. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said tee comprises a disk having a bottom surface and a top surface, said bottom surface being bonded to said upper surface of said pad, said disk being offset from a center of said pad, said guide indicia extending between said disk and said outer edge of said pad. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein said tee includes a stem being coupled to and extending upwardly from said top surface of said disk, said stem being centrally positioned on said disk, said stem having a distal end with respect to said disk, said distal end being open wherein said distal end is configured to accommodate curvature of the golf ball when the golf ball is positioned on said distal end of said stem. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein each of said cones is positioned on said bottom side of said mat, said cones being spaced apart from each other and being distributed over said bottom side, each of said cones having a distal end with respect to said bottom side, said distal end of each of said cones being rounded such that each of said cones tapers to a blunt point. 
     
     
         8 . A golf mat assembly for positioning on uneven terrain on a golf course to facilitate a golf shot, said assembly comprising:
 a mat being configured to be positioned on uneven terrain on a golf course, said mat having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said perimeter edge being continuously arcuate about a center point of said mat such that said mat has a disk shape, said mat being comprised of a flexible material, said bottom side having a lip extending downwardly therefrom, said lip being aligned with said perimeter edge, said lip extending around a full circumference of said perimeter edge;   a handle being integrated into said mat wherein said handle is configured to be gripped for carrying said mat, said handle comprising a pair of outward members each extending away from said perimeter edge of said mat and a central member extending between said pair of outward member, said central member being spaced from said perimeter edge of said mat to define a hand space between said central member and said perimeter edge wherein said hand space is configured to accommodate a user's hand for gripping said central member;   a pad being coupled to said mat, said pad comprising artificial turf wherein said pad is configured to simulate grass on the golf course, said pad having a single guide indicia being printed thereon wherein said guide indicia is configured to be pointed in a desired direction on the golf course, said pad having a lower surface, an upper surface and an outer edge, said lower surface being bonded to said top side of said mat, said outer edge being spaced from said perimeter edge of said mat, said outer edge being co-arcuate with said perimeter edge such that said pad has a disk shape, said guide indicia being printed on said upper surface, said guide indicia comprising an elongated stripe;   a tee being coupled to and extending upwardly from said pad wherein said tee is configured to have a golf ball positioned thereon when said mat is positioned on the uneven terrain thereby enhancing a user's ability to shoot the golf ball on the uneven terrain, said tee comprising:
 a disk having a bottom surface and a top surface, said bottom surface being bonded to said upper surface of said pad, said disk being offset from a center of said pad, said guide indicia extending between said disk and said outer edge of said pad; and 
 a stem being coupled to and extending upwardly from said top surface of said disk, said stem being centrally positioned on said disk, said stem having a distal end with respect to said disk, said distal end being open wherein said distal end is configured to accommodate curvature of the golf ball when the golf ball is positioned on said distal end of said stem; and 
 a plurality of cones, each of said cones being coupled to and extending downwardly from said mat wherein each of said cones is configured to engage the uneven terrain to inhibit said mat from being displaced on the uneven terrain, each of said cones being positioned on said bottom side of said mat, said cones being spaced apart from each other and being distributed over said bottom side, each of said cones having a distal end with respect to said bottom side, said distal end of each of said cones being rounded such that each of said cones tapers to a blunt point.
