主权项

1. A practice putting apparatus comprising:
a putting target comprising a housing and a simulated golf hole and a golf ball return device for returning a ball that reaches said simulated golf hole towards the place from which it was struck; a light source that directs light outwardly relative to the housing to light a guide path on a practice surface, the guide path being parallel to a putting line along which a golf ball is intended to be struck at said target to thereby provide a visual aid to alignment of a putter head when making a putting stroke along the putting line, wherein the light source is formed from a combination of a central light mounted to the housing so as to be centrally mounted relative to the target and first and second side lights mounted to the housing to either side of the target; and a switching mechanism configured for electrically switching between at least first and second modes of operation, the side lights operating in the first mode and the central light operating in the second mode.
