Abstract:
A golf swing practice mat assembly and method of use for practicing a golf swing with minimal friction between a golf ball and a ground surface includes a mat that has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge that is attached to and extends between the top side and the bottom side. The bottom side of the mat is abuttable against a ground surface. The mat has a plurality of apertures that extend through the top side and the bottom side. A plurality of eyelets is attached to the mat such that each of the eyelets bounds and reinforces one of the apertures. A plurality of securing members is attached to the mat. Each of the securing members secures the mat to the ground surface wherein each of the securing members extends through one of the apertures.

Claim (Index 10):
A golf swing practice assembly for practicing golf swings, said assembly comprising:\n a mat having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge being attached to and extending between said top side and said bottom side, said bottom side of said mat being abuttable against a ground surface, said top side being continuously smooth within said perimeter edge, said mat having a plurality of apertures extending through said top side and said bottom side, each of said apertures being spaced from each other and distributed around said mat adjacent to said perimeter edge, said mat comprising a friction reducing material, said friction reducing material being configured to reduce friction between said top side and a golf ball positioned on said top side; a plurality of eyelets being attached to said mat such that each of said eyelets bounds and reinforces one of said apertures; a plurality of securing members being attached to said mat, each of said securing members being configured to secure said mat to the ground surface, each of said securing members extending through one of said apertures, each of said securing member comprises:\n a stake being extendable into the ground surface, said stake being positioned adjacent to one of said apertures and being spaced from said mat, said stake having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end forming a closed loop, said lower end being extendable into the ground surface; and \n a coupler being attached to and extending between said stake and said mat, said coupler having a first end and a second end, said first end being coupled to said loop, said second end extending through said aperture adjacent to said stake and thereby securing said mat to the ground surface, said coupler being resiliently stretchable, said first end and said second end each comprising a hook.
