A practice platform for use by a golfer to practice swinging a club on different inclines, comprising:

• a base;
• a deck, pivotally mounted to said base;

• hydraulic means for releasably holding said deck at different inclines, including at least two hydraulic cylinders between said deck and said base, and at least one valve means for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid through said hydraulic cylinders;
• said deck being pivotable to different inclines with said valve means in an open position solely by the golfer's positioning himself thereupon so that his weight causes said deck to pivot without the use of power drive means, and said deck being prevented from pivoting when said valve means is in a closed position regardless of where the golfer positions himself thereupon;
