CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the benefit of PCT International Patent Application No. PCT/KR03/02177, filed on Oct. 17, 2003, under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.371.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to a golf practice mat used for placement of golf balls for practice hitting. The golf practice mat includes various inclined portions upon which the golf ball can be easily placed.

BACKGROUND ART

[0003] A conventional golf practice mat is formed of an artificial turf on a supporting mat made by rubber or synthetic resin or is formed of an artificial turf in a portion to be located a golf ball on a supporting mat made by rubber. In both cases, the golf ball is placed on a flat region of the artificial turf.

[0004] On an actual golf course, there are flat areas and inclined areas. In case of hitting the golf ball from an inclined area, a golf player generally chops with an iron club or pushes with a wood club. However, a conventional golf practice mat is not generally designed for practicing an iron or a wood club.

[0005] That is, since the conventional golf practice - mat for placing a golf ball is maintained with a flat portion and the mat does not have an irregular or inclined area like a real golf course, the conventional golf practice mat is not effective for simulating play on an actual golf course.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0006] It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a golf practice mat for practicing hitting on various inclined portions upon which golf balls can be easily placed.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a golf practice mat includes a base mat, a bottom plate on the base mat, a receiving frame inserted on a portion of the base mat and the bottom plate, an artificial turf plate on the filling material, and artificial turf on the artificial turf plate. The receiving frame includes a tee-shot practice portion formed of a flat shape and an inclined practice portion filled with a filling material formed of a concaved shape. The artificial turf over the inclined practice portion includes a plurality of golf ball placing portions for placing a golf ball on the inclined practice portion. The golf ball placing portions are continuously formed on the inclined practice portion in a radial direction.
