Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0281539A1] According to the invention an arrangement is proposed for training and practicing ball games, in particular golf. The arrangement can be used indoors as well as outdoors and comprises, on the one hand, a scoring means, preferably a panel (20) with a specifically prepared surface (28) and, on the other hand, a number of "golf balls" (10) having a surface likewise specifically prepared. The said surface preparation is such that the panel immediately catches and retains a ball when hit by it, so that the hitting point on the panel can be observed and taken down. However, the balls do not cling to each other or to carpets, curtains etc. occurring indoors. The surface of the panel (20) is prepared with so called Velcro material (25). By means of the arrangement a game of golf can be practiced while imitating the play on a real golf course and while using the so called score card of this course. For training so called "putt" strokes the panel (20) can be replaced by a small cylindrical body or a thin circular plate of the same diameter. To catch the ball upon a hit the periphery of the body and the top side of the plate are prepared in the same way as the surface of the score panel (20) mentioned above.
