Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] When playing golf in the winter, the tee ground is often frozen, which makes it extremely difficult to insert the golf tee into the frozen ground. The stability in the inserted position often deteriorates.

This project was researched to solve the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences, and makes it easier to insert golf tees at teeing grounds during the winter.
The aim is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable way to play.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. A heat insulating material 2 is laid at the bottom of a container 1 made of synthetic resin or the like with an open top, and a surface heating element is provided on the heat insulating material 2 with waterproofing and insulation processing. 3 and fill the container 1 with filling material 4 such as earth and sand or wood chips up to almost the upper edge of the container 1, and on top of this filling material 4, cover artificial grass 5 into which a golf tee can freely penetrate. However, this artificial grass 5 is container 1
Fixed to. In the figure, 6, 6, . . . are insertion bodies for fixing the container 1 to the tea ground. If the container 1 is heat insulating, no heat insulating material is required.

The claw 4 may be made of a material that allows the point of the golf tee to be inserted freely. The heating element of the surface heating element 3 may be a sheathed heater, a nichrome wire, a kneaded type heating element, or a cotton cloth coated with carbon-based conductive paint with electrodes woven along both sides. These power sources can be obtained from any power source 7 such as an AC power source or a battery. The size of the container 1 may be made large enough to take a stance depending on the conditions of the tee ground, or may be made only large enough to allow a golf tee to be inserted.

In the other embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the container 1 has a drainage function added, the bottom of the container 1 is made into a funnel shape, and a small hole 9 is bored therein, and the surface heating element 3 is placed under the heat insulator 2. A filling material 4' such as earth and sand is filled in such a manner that the center portion is higher, and a surface heating element 3, a filling material 4, and an artificial turf 5 similar to the previous embodiment are layered on top of this filling material 4'. In this case, the water in the container 1 flows on the surface of the surface heating element 3, flows downward from the side wall of the container 1, passes through the plug 4', and is drained into the ground through the small hole 1''.

The present invention is realized as described above, and in order to use this, a hole 8 large enough to fit the container 1 is dug in the tea ground, the container 1 is fitted, and the insertion bodies 6, 6... are inserted into the tea ground. It is fixed to the ground and the surface of the artificial grass 5 is made flush with the surface of the teeing ground.
However, if the weather gets too cold, turn on the electricity in advance to prevent freezing and to thaw frozen items.

The surface of the artificial turf 5 may be slightly higher than the surface of the playing ground, and in this case, the container 1 may be directly fixed to the surface of the playing ground.

Then, a golf tee is inserted into the five artificial turf surfaces at a height that suits the player, and a golf ball is placed on the golf tee and hit.

As mentioned above, the proposed method is to place a waterproof and insulated surface heating element on the bottom of a container made of synthetic resin with an open top, and to place fillers such as earth and sand or wood chips almost on top of the container. The artificial turf is filled to the edge, and the golf tee is covered with artificial turf that can be inserted freely on top of this padding, and the surface heating element can be energized, so the artificial turf or padding will not freeze even during the cold winter months. figure,
The golf tee can be easily inserted and the golf tee can be inserted and erected reliably even when the weather gets warm and the frozen soil begins to thaw, allowing the player to enjoy comfortable golf.
