Abstract: A method and a device for automatically returning golf balls towards a golfer over a predefined track, in particular for putting training on golfing greens, in which distances from a golf hole are different, includes a motorized lifting device having lowered and lifted positions of the golf ball and controllable assemblies generating a driving force causing the golf ball to roll down from its lifted position along a specific length and guiding the ball to the golfer by using a position guidance system. Preferably, a microcontroller is associated with the force-generating assemblies for controlling the required length of the rolling down motion. The microcontroller is at least connected to an air stream sensor and a humidity sensor by circuit technology, and optionally to mobile signal transmission computer equipment for transmitting the required length with a radio receiver assembly.
