Abstract: A ball lifting device having an elevator is attachable to a flagstick for enabling easy removal of a golf ball that is holed while putting with the flagstick in place in the cup. The elevator may be attached to a handle portion that extends up along the pole portion of the flagstick allowing the elevator to be raised by way of the handle portion. The handle portion may have a hook portion for hooking up with a golf club so that hand contact with the device is eliminated. The handle portion may be a thin member. The handle portion may be a tubular portion. The elevator may be spring loaded with the spring manually loaded by a golfer and released to eject the golf ball from the cup.

Abstract: A golf ball retrieving device is provided. The golf ball retrieving device comprises a golf ball holding structure which is adapted for being placed between a bottom portion of a golf flagstick and an inside wall of a golf cup. The golf ball holding structure retains a golf ball after being putted into the golf cup. An interacting structure secures the golf ball holding structure to the bottom portion of the golf flagstick.

Abstract: A golf hole cup with a golf ball ejection device includes; a golf hole cup; a movable part accommodated in the cup, the movable part allowing a flagstick ferrule to be inserted therein and removed therefrom, and the movable part being movable vertically with the flagstick left inserted therein; a guide part that guides the movable part vertically; an elastic body that is at a bottom of the movable part, and exerts force to make the movable part having been pushed down return to an original position; a drive unit; a transmission part that is connected to the movable part and transmits downward acting force to the drive unit, the drive unit converting the downward acting force into upward acting force; an elevation part that is elevated upon receiving force from the drive unit; and a bottom plate part that is connected to and is elevated with the elevation part.

Abstract: A golf pin ball tray comprising a support surface having an inner aperture having a diameter of size to receive a shaft of a golf pin, the diameter being less than a diameter of a ferrule on an end of the shaft that is inserted in a golf cup, the support surface having a maximum diameter of about 55% to about 80% of an inner diameter of the golf cup.

Abstract: Golf regulations have recently changed so that the golf flagstick or flag no longer is required to be removed during play. It is important to be able to retrieve the ball, and this device, which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the golf club hole will be placed on the lower end of the golf flag stick. The device will be hidden from view when the flagstick is in the golf hole. The golfer retrieves the ball by pulling up on the flagstick until the ball rolls out of the cup. This device to retrieve the ball will prevent damage to the putting surface.

Abstract: A golf ball ejection device integrated into a golf flag pin whereby balls sitting in the hole-cup are raised to ground level and expelled outward therefrom in random directions and distances. This is accomplished by apply manual pressure to a slidable component of the flag pin that raises a dome shaped ejector component positioned within the hole-cup thereby ejecting the golf balls contained therein, which also prevents balls from falling back into the cup.

Abstract: The apparatus and methods of the current invention utilize a device that is secured within a golf hole and comprises a series of tethers and or aiming rods as well as a ball retrieving mechanism. The purpose of the invention is to improve the user's putting ability.

Abstract: Trainers tell us that good golf is all about muscle memory. Putting is the most important part golf. If muscle memory was ever important, memory over the long putt is the most important of all. Putting plays an important role in improving the golfers overall score. If we can take out the ‘2 putt’ count, and bring it down to ‘1 putt’, that would be an 18 stroke savings over a round of golf. Putting is also based on confidence. Having the confidence you will be able to make a putt because you have done this before with success. Teaching and training for different green situations is key to the results experienced during the golf round. The ability to read the green and understand the ball movements with different breaks and mounds on the green is a factor of practice. Repetitive training with the Golf Back Board will improve the golfers' game. This will allow you to pay more attention to other aspects of your game. The old saying ‘you drive for show, you putt for dough . . .

Abstract: Disclosed is a golf ball ejector device for placement within a conventional practice green putting golf cup. The device includes a cylindrical housing constructed and adapted to fit within a conventional golf cup employing a catapult ejector arm recessed into an angular top surface made operational by an actuating switch which is coupled to a drive motor for operation of a timing cam and release of a spring for operation of the catapult ejector arm. The device allows horizontal ejecting of a golf ball when placed beneath the rim of a golf cup.

Abstract: A portable golf practice game consisting of a wall having a front face, rear face, and base. The wall includes a plurality of openings along the base for the entry of an object there-through. Each opening includes an opening sensor to detect the presence of an object there-through. The wall further includes proximity sensors along the base to detect the presence of an object not passing though an opening. The sensors emit a signal which is detected by a processor connected to the wall. Each opening has a corresponding graphic element which displays a value interpreted by the processor. A user chooses a game on the input device, then propels an object toward the wall, a sensor emits a signal, the processor interprets the signal and the graphic element displays an assigned value.

Abstract: A novelty golf ball ejector for ejecting a golf ball from a golf course cup with a cylindrical side wall, a top opening and a bottom portion with a centered hole. The golf ball ejector comprising a base plate having a top surface for guiding the golf ball onto an ejector plate, the ejector plate being pivotally interengaged with the base plate for ejecting the golf ball out of the top opening of the cup when the golf ball is in a ejection position on the ejector plate. The golf ball ejector further including an activator for actuating the ejector plate.

Abstract: A novelty item ejects a golf ball from a cup in a putting green. The golf ball ejector apparatus includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder movable relative to the outer cylinder. A compression spring is disposed beneath the inner cylinder and the inner cylinder includes a pair of slots which extend axially along the inner cylinder and a transversely or diametrically extending pin extends through the slots and is secured to the outer cylinder. The top of the inner cylinder includes a recess for receiving the golf ball. The top of the slots include recesses for receiving the pin to lock the inner cylinder downwardly relative to the outer cylinder and a golf ball falling onto the top of the inner cylinder causes the inner cylinder to move relative to the pin, and when the pin is out of the recesses the compression spring moves the inner cylinder, with the golf ball disposed thereon, upwardly to propel or eject the golf ball upwardly and out of the cup.
