Abstract
A method for marking a fairway, having a teeing area associated therewith, to enable a golfer to judge distance and accuracy of golf balls struck onto said fairway from the teeing area, said method consisting of marking distance indicators on the fairway in the form of a first set of lines that are spaced from the teeing area and are spaced apart, with each line being a substantially constant distance from the teeing area, and marking accuracy indicators on the fairway in the form of a second set of lines that extend outwardly from the teeing area and are substantially normal to the teeing area.
Claims26
A method for marking a practice range, having a teeing area associated therewith, to enable a golfer to judge distance and accuracy of golf balls struck onto said practice range from the teeing area, said method comprising the steps of:
- marking distance indicating means on the fairway in the form of a first set of lines that are spaced sequentially from the teeing area at prescribed distances apart from each other, each line being a substantially constant distance from the teeing area;
- and
- marking accuracy indicating means on the practice range in the form of a second set of lines that extend outwardly from the teeing area and are substantially normal to the teeing area;
- wherein the second set of lines are spaced apart an amount equating to the typical width of a fairway on a golf course.
In a practice range having a teeing area associated therewith, an improved set of markings on the practice range to enable a golfer to judge distance and accuracy of golf balls struck onto the practice range from said teeing area, comprising:
- distance indicating means in the form of a first set of lines that are spaced sequentially from the teeing area at prescribed distances apart from each other, each line being a substantially constant distance from the teeing area;
- and
- accuracy indicating means in the form of a second set of lines that extend outwardly from the teeing area and are substantially normal to the teeing area;
- wherein the second set of lines are spaced apart an amount equating to the typical width of a fairway on a golf course.
