Abstract
A golf target for use on a body of water having a water surface is described. The golf target comprises a first float having a first diameter and a second float having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The golf target also comprises a mesh having an outer perimeter, a mesh center, and a middle portion extending between the outer perimeter and the mesh center. The outer perimeter of the mesh is affixed to the first float, and the mesh center is affixed to the second float. At least a part of the middle portion is arranged to submerge under the water surface when the golf target is floated on the body of water.

A golf target for use on a body of water having a water surface, the golf target comprising:
- a first float having a first diameter;
- a second float having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- a mesh having an outer perimeter, a mesh center, and a middle portion extending between the outer perimeter and the mesh center, the outer perimeter of the mesh being affixed to the first float, the mesh center being affixed to the second float;
- a spring coupled to the first float, the spring being arranged to exert a biasing force at least on one of the first float and the outer perimeter of the mesh, at least one of the first float and the outer perimeter of the mesh being pulled away from the second float when the biasing force is applied;
- and
- at least a part of the middle portion being arranged to submerge under the water surface when the golf target is floated on the body of water.
A golf target for use on a body of water having a water surface, the golf target comprising:
- a first float having a first diameter, the first float including an inner tube surrounded by a fabric having at least an outer surface, the outer surface of the fabric surrounding the inner tube of the first float including at least a bottom outer surface;
- a second float having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- a mesh having an outer perimeter, a mesh center, and a middle portion extending between the outer perimeter and the mesh center, the outer perimeter of the mesh being affixed to the first float, the mesh center being affixed to the second float, the outer perimeter of the mesh being affixed to the first float by being affixed to the bottom outer surface;
- and
- at least a first part of the middle portion of the mesh and a second part of the bottom outer surface being arranged to submerge under the water surface when the golf target is floated on the body of water, the at least first part having a concave cross section between the outer perimeter of the mesh and the mesh center.
A golf training system comprising:
- a golf target for use on a body of water having a water surface, the golf target comprising:
- a first float having a first diameter, the first float including an inner tube surrounded by a fabric having at least an outer surface, the outer surface of the fabric surrounding the inner tube of the first float including at least a bottom outer surface;
- a second float having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- a mesh having an outer perimeter, a mesh center, and a middle portion extending between the outer perimeter and the mesh center, the outer perimeter of the mesh being affixed to the first float, the mesh center being affixed to the second float, the outer perimeter of the mesh being affixed to the first float by being affixed to the bottom outer surface;
- at least a first part of the middle portion of the mesh and a second part of the bottom outer surface being arranged to submerge under the water surface when the golf target is floated on the body of water, the at least first part having a concave cross section between the outer perimeter of the mesh and the mesh center;
- and
- at least a floatable golf ball, the at least floatable golf ball being receivable at least in part by at least one of the first float, the second float, and the mesh.
