Abstract: A golf putting training device with a base and a plurality of posts extending upwardly from the base is provided. The plurality of posts may be positioned on a diameter of a circle and the diameter may be generally equal to a golf hole diameter. A distance between at least two of the plurality of posts is less than the golf hole diameter and thereby provides a narrow opening for a golf ball to roll through. A pair of sleeves may be positioned on a pair of adjacent posts such that the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through is reduced. Also, an elastic member may extend between two posts and across the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through such that a golf ball putted towards the narrow opening is redirected when it is rolls into the elastic member.

Abstract: A golf putting aide locatable between a golf ball and a golf hole for use by a golfer putting the ball toward the hole to train the golfer to putt. The aide includes a frame supported by a support, the frame having a gap located at a lower portion of the frame and oriented so that during use of the aide when the ball is putted through the frame toward the hole the ball will pass through or below the slot on its path to the hole.

Abstract: A portable game includes a playing surface having a first portion and a second portion, where the first portion has at least one container. Each container has an opening and is rotatably connected to the first portion, and each container is configured to rotate between a scoring position and a closed position. The opening of each container is configured to receive a game piece via the playing surface when that container is in the scoring position but not when that container is in the closed position. The portable game also includes one or more border rails that at least partially surround at least a portion of the playing surface.

Abstract: The putting cup comprises a target cup and a cup holder. The putting cup be a practice accessory for the sport of golfing. A spike located on the cup holder may be pressed into a practice surface. The target cup may be clipped to the cup holder. A golf ball may be putted into the target cup and the target cup may be held in position by the cup holder. As a non-limiting example, the practice surface may be a level surface into which the spike of a clip may be planted, such as a lawn.

Abstract: A golf chipping and putting training device supports a bucket at an angle for a golfer to practice chipping golf balls. The device includes a base support assembly configured to adjustably support the bucket at a selected angle. The device has a frontal face with a lower opening that is designed to simulate a true 4¼ inch green cup hole. A target assembly presents a target in the bucket opening. Depending on the clip mount, the flag is either static mounted or may act as a signal flag that is operable in response to a golf ball striking the target.

Abstract: An apparatus, used as a goal in a game with a game ball and club, comprises a frame arranged to be supported on the ground which defines a perimeter boundary surrounding a goal area sustantially at ground level and a goal mouth extending at least partway about the perimeter boundary substantially at ground level. The goal mouth fully surrounds the goal area and provides access of the game ball therethrough to the goal area. A retaining mechanism comprises a plurality of gates selectively spanning the goal mouth to control entry and exit of the game ball to and from the goal area.
