Abstract
A golf training mat is described. In some configurations, the mat includes a standing portion and a hitting portion. The hitting portion includes multiple distinct hitting surfaces. The hitting surfaces provide multiple different slopes and elevations for placement of the ball. In addition, the standing portion may include multiple distinct standing surfaces that are of different slopes and/or elevations so as to simulate different foot positions/placements that the golfer may experience on a real golf course.
