  • Patent number: 5586941
    Abstract: A golf putting practice device is provided which will enable a golfer to practice putts of varying distances in a small area. The device includes a base, a height indicator arm hingedly connected to the base, and a relatively short track (e.g., 6-7') along which a golfer putts. The track may be elevated at one end to a desired height and secured at that height to the height indicator arm. The height indicator arm is calibrated for the length of the track and the various heights to which the track is raised, such that when the track is raised to a certain height (e.g., 2'), a practice putt on the device will correspond to a putt of a desired distance (e.g., 30') on an actual putting green. The surface of the track can be altered to simulate a dry putting green or a wet putting green. Varying putting green conditions, i.e., varying frictional forces exerted against the ball by the putting green, can also be varied simply by varying the height to which the track is raised.
