Abstract: A putting training device adapted for insertion into a golf hole. The putting target may include a base comprising a circular lip comprising (i) an outer edge and an inner edge, wherein the inner edge defines a circular aperture, and (ii) a sidewall extending downward from the inner edge. The training device may also comprise a synthetic-turf component fixed to a top surface of the circular lip. The outer edge of the circular lip may be approximately 4.25 inches in diameter such that it may fit securely inside a standard golf hole. The inner edge of the circular lip is smaller in diameter than the diameter of a standard golf hole, thereby presenting a more difficult target for the user for training purposes. In one aspect, the diameter of the inner edge may be approximately one and a half times the diameter of a standard golf ball.
