A golf practicing apparatus having a ball receiving section with a generally horizontal planar floor and an enclosure for enclosing the floor to define a ball receiving space for receiving golf balls, and wherein the ball receiving space is open at an entrance end of the ball receiving section. The apparatus also has a swing platform section with a front end which is in communication with the entrance end of the ball receiving section, wherein the swing platform section is comprised of an elevated platform area for accommodating a golfer. The elevation of the swing platform creates a spatial separation between the golfer and any spectators or passersby thus reducing the possibility of injury to such persons from being struck by a swinging golf club.
