Abstract
Abstract The disclosure describes a golf game for both indoor and outdoor use comprising a mat with a clipping tee and a driving tee thereon and an artificial golf green having a cup and flag, with indicia on the surface of the green marking off areas progressively further away from the cup, with values assigned to the green areas for evaluating golf shots to the green. The green includes an undulated area and a thickened tapered end portion including an integral molded cup of regulation size. The mat and green are separable so that the distance between them can be varied at will depending on the space available. The device can be used with either a practice ball or a regular golf ball.
