A portable net (10) has an erected configuration for practicing golf or the like by stopping the flight of a golf ball (22) and returning it to a selected location and a folded configuration for storage or transport. The portable net (10) has an elastic frame (12) that forms a base (11) and a net support section (13). A net (18) is connected to the net support section (13) of the frame (12) so that the net (18) is extended away from the base (11) in the erected configuration. The net (18) is arranged to stop the flight of a golf ball (22) that is incident thereon. A fabric (26) is connected between the net (18) and the base (11) so that projectile that has impinged upon the net (18) falls to the fabric (26) and then rolls to the front portion of the portable net (10). The frame is configured such that a person may put the frame (12) into a folded configuration by deforming the first and second frame members (14, 16) into a plurality of generally concentric rings. A retainer such as a strap (134) is provided for selectively retaining the frame (12) in the folded configuration. The frame (12) is formed such that elastic forces in the frame spontaneously move the frame (12) to the erected configuration when the retainer (134) is not engaged to retain the frame (12) in the storage configuration.
