A device for playing a game which simulates golf, has front and rear sections which are hinged together and fold from open to closed positions. Both sections rest on the floor with the rear section presented after front section when the device is in its open position. The front section has an open end, while the rear section has a closed end. Both sections have supporting surfaces which align when the sections are open. The supporting surface of the front section is inclined upwardly away from the open end of the front section. A flexible mat having tee positions and other information presented thereon rests on the supporting surfaces and extends out of the open end, beyond which it rests on the floor. The mat may be folded over onto itself so that it rests entirely on the supporting surfaces, and then the front section may be folded over onto the rear section to bring the game device to a compact closed position more suitable for carrying or storage. The mat is contained wholly within the device when the sections are closed.
A device for playing a game which simulates golf, said device comprising first and second sections of substantially equal size which are hinged directly to each other and fold about a hinge axis from an extended open position, wherein both sections are on the floor, to a compact closed position, wherein one section is against the other section, the sections having supporting surfaces which are located below the hinge axis and align when the sections are open, and face each other, yet are spaced a substantial distance apart, when the sections are closed, the first section further having an open end and the supporting surface of that section being substantially at floor level at the open end;
