  • Patent number: 4728106
    Abstract: A golf putting practice device, one embodiment of which comprises a thin, flat ball support in the front portion thereof which supports a ball rolling rearwardly to a simulated golf hole area having a very shallow front rim, which allows a ball to fall slightly when rolling rearwardly thereacross, and which permits a ball rolling with sufficient speed to also roll outwardly thereacross. An area rearward of the front rim slopes upwardly from front to rear while also sloping upwardly from each of the respective outer sides thereof toward the longitudinal center of the device, so that a ball may be permitted to roll by gravity in a forward and outward direction toward either of the respective sides of the device, so that the ball may roll off the device to a position outside of the path of a subsequently putted ball. A concave rear wall is located rearward of the sloping area and simulates the rear wall and rim of a golf hole.
