  • Patent number: 5782700
    Abstract: An improved golfing target device (11), as shown in FIG. (1), in the preferred embodiment having a flat, uniformly thick, substantially circular target area (10), being 1.12 meters (44 inches) in outer diameter, with a centered hole (1) approximately the 108 mm (41/4 inches) size of a regulation golf hole. Support device (2) causes target area (10) to be inclined toward the vertical with respect to the horizontal plane, with the lowest edge of target area (10) touching the same plane as the bottom of support device (2). Permanent attachment by rivets or weld maintains the position of target area (10) on support device (2). Flag pin receptacle (9) in the preferred embodiment is positioned properly and permanently attached, by rivets or weld, to the bottom of support device (2), which causes an inserted flag pin (6), with flag (6a), to protrude up thru the center of the golf size hole (1).
