Golf simulation system

摘要

A green simulation apparatus may comprise a covering forming a configurable upper surface with a changeable contour and being flexible such that the covering is movable between a base condition in which the upper surface has a substantially planar configuration and a contoured condition in which the upper surface has a contoured configuration. The apparatus may also comprise a covering support assembly configured to support the covering in the base condition and the contoured condition.

主权项

1. An apparatus having a configurable upper surface with a changeable contour, the apparatus comprising:
a covering forming the upper surface, the covering being flexible such that the covering is movable between a base condition in which the upper surface has a substantially planar configuration and a contoured condition in which the upper surface has a contoured configuration; and a covering support assembly configured to support the covering in the base condition and the contoured condition, the support assembly comprising:
a plurality of movable positioning elements having the covering resting thereon, the plurality of positioning elements being positioned in an array below the covering, the positioning elements each having an upper end contacting a portion of the covering, the positioning elements being movable to adjust a vertical position of the upper end of the positioning element contacting the covering; anda movement actuator configured to move at least one of the positioning elements, one of the movement actuators acting on at least one of the positioning elements such that the positioning elements are movable independently of other positioning elements;wherein each of the plurality of positioning elements are substantially uniformly spaced from each other.
