Golf mat

摘要

A golfing platform includes a standing region, for a user to stand to make their golf swing, and a striking zone, where a golf ball may be placed for striking by a golf club. The striking zone may be configured to replicate the feel of real turf, but where the artificial turf covering is not taken up as divots during a golf club swing. The striking zone can include a striking zone insert which may be formed from a hollow region surrounded by a flexible tubular material and encased with a covering material. The striking zone insert may have a height substantially the same as the height of the standing platform. A matting insert material may surround the striking zone to make the entire golf platform (the standing platform, the matting insert material and the striking zone insert) of uniform height, thereby mimicking a typical golf swing from the ground.
