Golf putting training aid

摘要

A golf putting aide, that can be used as part of an independent game using golf equipment, which aide has a large annular platter with a series of evenly spaced spokes thereon on the upper side, and slip impeding means on the underside. Each spoke, is radiused on both side faces thereof, to match the curvature of a golf ball, such that on impact a golf ball will roll down the spoke toward a center opening in the platter rather than ricocheting off at an angle of incidence post impact. The spokes of the preferred embodiment taper inwardly from the rear surface toward the front surface, evenly on both sides of a center line, and taper downwardly along the top surface from the rear surface forwardly to the front. The device may be used at home on grass, at miniature golf locations or on a golf course hole with permission.

主权项

1. A device to be used as both a golf putting aide and for use as a tool in a separate putting game, which device comprises:
an annular platter having a top side and a bottom side, said annular platter having a series of uniformly spaced spokes directed from an outer edge of the platter to the center opening of the annulus, each spoke having 2 side surfaces both of which are radiused inwardly in like manner to match the curvature of a golf ball, wherein each spoke tapers inwardly toward a vertical center line of said spoke from the rear of each spoke toward the front of said spoke, the center opening of said annulus being greater than the diameter of a golf course hole, whereby when the convex surface of a golf ball impacts the concave surface of s spoke, the ball rolls along the length of the spoke toward the center opening of the platter, rather than impacting the spoke and then ricocheting off at an angle of reflection.
