Abstract
A portable golf mat includes a first portion coupled with a second portion at a first hinge, a third portion coupled with the second portion at a second hinge, and a fourth portion coupled with the third portion at a third hinge. Each portion has a first layer formed from a rubber material and a second layer comprising an artificial turf. The first portion is foldable about the first hinge relative to the second portion so that the first portion top surface contacts the second portion top surface, the second portion is foldable about the second hinge relative to the third portion so that the second portion bottom surface contacts the third portion bottom surface, and the fourth portion is foldable about the third hinge relative to the third portion so that the fourth portion top surface contacts the third portion top surface.

A portable golf mat, comprising:
- a first portion coupled with a second portion at a first hinge;
- a third portion coupled with the second portion at a second hinge;
- a fourth portion coupled with the third portion at a third hinge;
- wherein the first, second, third, and fourth portions each have a first layer formed from a rubber material and a second layer comprising an artificial turf;
- the first, second, third, and fourth portions each comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;
- wherein the first portion is foldable about the first hinge relative to the second portion so that the first portion top surface is configured to contact the second portion top surface;
- wherein the second portion is foldable about the second hinge relative to the third portion so that the second portion bottom surface is configured to contact the third portion bottom surface;
- and
- wherein the fourth portion is foldable about the third hinge relative to the third portion so that the fourth portion top surface is configured to contact the third portion top surface.
A portable golf mat, comprising:
- a first portion, the first portion defining a first perimeter, the first perimeter comprising a first chord extending between first and second endpoints and a first arc extending between the first and second endpoints, wherein the first arc subtends an angle greater than 180 degrees;
- and
- a second portion, the second portion defining a second perimeter, the second perimeter comprising a second chord extending between third and fourth endpoints and a second arc extending between the third and fourth endpoints, wherein the second arc subtends an angle greater than 180 degrees;
- wherein the first and second portions each comprise a top surface and a bottom surface;
- wherein the first portion is foldable about a first hinge relative to the second portion.
A method of using a portable golf mat, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a golf mat, the golf mat comprising:
- a first portion coupled with a second portion at a first hinge;
- and
- a third portion coupled with the second portion at a second hinge;
- the first, second, and third portions each comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;
- folding the first portion about the first hinge relative to the second portion so that the first portion top surface contacts the second portion top surface;
- and
- folding the second portion about the second hinge relative to the third portion so that the second portion bottom surface contacts the third portion bottom surface.
