Abstract: An adjustable golf cup providing multiple cup diameters, a puttable upper surface, and advertising opportunity.

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 golf game including a ball, a first pin, and two second pins, the pins being disposed co-linearly on a putting surface, one second pin on either side of the first pin. A method of playing the golf game including placing the ball on the putting surface at a starting point, standing the first pin and the two second pins on the putting surface at a first distance from the ball, striking the ball with a putter to cause the ball to roll towards the pins, and scoring “one” if the ball knocks down only the first pin, “two” if the ball knocks down the first pin and one or both of the second pins, “three” if the ball knocks down only one of the second pins, or “four” if the ball fails to knock down any pins.

Abstract: A putting surface having a ball receptacle with a cup wall of a predetermined height is defined within the putting surface for receiving a moving ball. A force absorbing member extends vertically within the ball receptacle for absorbing the force of a moving ball. The force absorbing member has a first undeformed position prior to engaging the moving ball and a second deformed position when engaging the moving ball within a force absorbing zone for absorbing the force of a moving ball. Additionally, the force absorbing member is offset from the cup wall enabling a golf ball to enter the ball receptacle prior to engaging the force absorbing member.

Abstract: A golf putting practice accessory having two adjustable markers for defining and simulating a conventional golf hole and for permitting a golf ball to pass therethrough, there being attached to these markers, a flexible member for defining a circumscribed area with said two markers whereby a golf ball stopping within the circumscribed area and not exiting the circumscribed area is indicative of a putting stroke made with optimum force.

Abstract: A ball receiver for being positioned on a generally horizontal surface for receiving a moving ball. The ball includes an outer wall of a general height which is sloped which is interconnected with a ball receptacle for receiving a moving ball. A force absorbing member extends vertically from the central receptacle base to a height at least equal to the outer wall for absorbing the force of a moving ball.

Abstract: A golf putting target which includes a housing with sloped top sides and which is smaller than a regulation golf cup hole. The housing contains pressure bars, a battery, a normally open circuit and a sound synthesizer. When a putted golf ball rolls over the target a pressure bar is depressed completing a normally open circuit which causes the sound synthesizer to emit an audible sound providing feedback to a golfer.
