Abstract:
A golf hole for a miniature golf course is formed of a plurality of modules, each of which has a foam core that is shaped so as to have a contoured top surface to simulate a natural putting green. An anchor is cemented into troughs formed at each corner of each of the modules. While the modules are held together in the configuration of the golf hole, certain exposed outer surfaces of the foam core are covered with glass fiber reinforced concrete and thereafter a finishing coating of cement. The modules are separated and the remaining outer surfaces are finished. The modules and other materials for assembling the hole are packaged into a kit. At the site where the golf course is to be constructed, individual modules are carried and positioned by rods slid through steel loops extending from eyelet bolts threaded into the anchors in each of the modules. After the modules are properly configured, the eyelet bolts are removed and anchoring plates are positioned across the interface between adjacent modules in recesses in the top surfaces of the modules. Screws are threaded into the anchors through holes in the anchoring plates to secure the modules together.
