  • Patent number: 10092810
    Abstract: A golf putting aide, that can be used as part of an independent game using golf equipment, which aide has a large annular platter with a series of evenly spaced spokes thereon on the upper side, and slip impeding means on the underside. Each spoke, is radiused on both side faces thereof, to match the curvature of a golf ball, such that on impact a golf ball will roll down the spoke toward a center opening in the platter rather than ricocheting off at an angle of incidence post impact. The spokes of the preferred embodiment taper inwardly from the rear surface toward the front surface, evenly on both sides of a center line, and taper downwardly along the top surface from the rear surface forwardly to the front. The device may be used at home on grass, at miniature golf locations or on a golf course hole with permission.
