- said flat boards being covered with a layer of velvet or other surface layer and each having at least one T-shaped tenon and one T-shaped groove for connection with one another by means of tenon-and-groove to form a flat surface serving as a teeing ground;
- said intermediate boards and said rear end board each having a side groove aligned with one another in a line to form a ball return gutter;
- said front end board comprising a ball chamber on its one side adjacent to said intermediate boards, a recess hole on said ball chamber at a rear end for receiving a display, and a notch on its other side opposite to said ball chamber;
- said rear end board comprising an upper board laterally pivotably connected with a bottom board by means of a hinge joint;
- said upper board comprising a mounting slot at a side and a round hole in the center, said bottom board comprising a bevel groove extending laterally from its center point to communicate with the ball return gutter permitting any ball which enters said round hole of said upper board to run therethrough to said ball chamber via said ball return gutter;
- a setback portion being made on said intermediate boards and part of said rear end board at one lateral side opposite to said ball return gutter, said setback portion comprising a unitary round rod horizontally outwardly extending therefrom for the mounting thereon of an elongated strip permitting said elongated strip to rotate thereon, said elongated strip having its one end partly protruding in the notch of said front end board and comprising an unitary pin upstanding from its other end to stop against the bottom surface of said mounting slot of said upper board of said rear end board;
- characterized in that any ball which is putted into the hole of the upper board of said rear end board immediately drops to the bevel groove of the bottom board of said rear end board to further run through said ball return gutter to said ball chamber;
- any ball which does not enter the hole of the upper board of said rear end board can be guided to roll down through said ball return gutter to said ball chamber by using a golf club to press in the notch of said front end board to turn said elongated strip permitting the unitary pin of said elongated strip to lift the upper board of said rear end board.
