Variable lie golf practice station apparatus

A portable, adjustable, indoor/outdoor, variable lie golf practice station, comprising:

• (a) a platform having a top surface, a bottom surface and a plurality of sockets disposed on said bottom surface, said platform having a flat plate-like configuration with a predetermined surface area and further having a hitting mat disposed on said top surface and bracing disposed on said bottom surface;
• said sockets being cylindrical with an open bottom end of a predetermined diameter and a predetermined length, said sockets being disposed at a center point of said platform and proximate each of four comers of said platform;
• and
• (b) a plurality of supports, each of said supports being adapted to be removably received within one said socket, each of said supports having a predetermined length with an upper end and a bottom end, said upper end having a rounded ball configuration with a predetermined diameter for mating with said sockets of said platform, said bottom end having a base plate for contact with ground, wherein said supports comprise a set of supports constructed of at least three varying lengths, each of said supports being adapted for being replaced with another support of a different length, whereby coupling of said supports to said sockets are variable to provide platform orientations for a golfer standing on said platform and addressing a golf ball lying on said platform consisting of flat, uphill, downhill, sidehill ball above feet, sidehill ball below feet, uphill-sidehill ball above feet, uphill-sidehill ball below feet, downhill-sidehill ball above feet, and downhill-sidehill ball below feet, and whereby variable to provide variable sloped platform orientations.

A method of adjusting the slope of a variable lie practice station including a platform having a top surface, a bottom surface and a plurality of sockets disposed on said bottom surface;

• and a plurality of supports, each of said supports being adapted to be removably received within one said socket, each of said supports having a predetermined length, comprising the steps of:
• (a) removing a predetermined number of supports from said peripheral sockets;
• and
• (b) replacing said removed supports with said predetermined number of supports of at least one different length to form a desired slope for said platform.
