GOLF DRIVING RANGE

摘要

A system for practicing or playing golf may include, alone or in combination, a golf target subsystem, a detection subsystem, and a golf ball dispensing subsystem. The golf ball dispensing subsystem comprises a free standing device placed at the teeing area which may receive and store a quantity of golf balls, illuminate the golf balls by exposing them to an illuminating source contained therein, and/or dispense the illuminated golf balls to the golfer. The golf target subsystem provides a visible target area within which the golfer may attempt to land a golf ball. In addition, the target is preferably illuminated to facilitate identification during night-time conditions. The detection subsystem determines whether a golf ball has landed within a perimeter of the target subsystem. A barrier portion covers the target area and receives any golf balls landing within the perimeter of the target area. Upon detection, a signal may be provided to indicate the presence of a golf ball within the perimeter of the target.
