Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a segmented target useful particularly as a simulated golf green. The target is made up of multiple parallel strands of wire supported above the ground and running cross wise to each other, thus defining a number of segmented areas. A netting lies over the wire strands and segmented areas. In each segmented area the netting extends downwardly in a conical shape that terminates in a ring structure fitted with an electrical switch for indicating at a remote location the passage of a golf ball through the ring structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A simulated golf green including means for supporting same above ground level, and including a simulated apron, comprising a plurality of contiguous open segment areas defined by a first plurality of horizontal parallel strands of wire intersected by a second plurality of horizontal parallel strands of wire, there lying below each open segment area a downwardly tapering enclosure of netting terminating in a ring structure adapted to transfer a spent projectile therethrough and to indicate at a removed location the passage of said projectile therethrough, each segmented area being indicative of a given distance or location with reference to a flag stick positioned in said simulated golf green.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A simulated golf green including means for supporting same above ground level, and including a simulated apron, comprising a plurality of contiguous open segment areas defined by a first plurality of horizontal parallel strands of wire intersected by a second plurality of horizontal parallel strands of wire, there lying below each open segment area a downwardly tapering enclosure of netting terminating in a ring structure adapted to transfer a spent projectile therethrough and to indicate at a removed location the passage of said projectile therethrough, each segmented area being indicative of a given distance or location with reference to a flag stick positioned in said simulated golf green.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The simulated golf green of claim 1 wherein said simulated golf green including means for supporting same above ground level is supported above ground level so that said apron extends from said simulated golf green to the ground level.
