A tiltable platform suitable for a golf practice stand provides a rigid stable platform and is easily tiltable in all directions. The platform has a first guide track and a second guide track arranged in a cruciform configuration thereunder with a centre intersection. A base is provided under the platform and supports a first frame member under the first guide track and a second frame member under the second guide track with opposite sloped linkage arms. First and second linear actuators tilt the platform in two planes representing the first guide track and the second guide track by pivoting the linkage arms and an operating control for the actuators permits adjustment of the slope of the platform.
