A golf putting practice aid 10 comprises a member including a target surface 16 with at least one target 18, 20, 22 towards which golf balls 56 are putted which then rebound off the target surface back at least partly towards the user. The member preferably comprises a base (Figure 2, 12) and a resilient plate (Figure 2, 24) which causes the ball to rebound. The member is either of sufficient mass that it is not deflected when struck by a ball under normal conditions or is relatively light and has anchoring means such as flanges (Figure 5, 60) with bores through which golf tees (Figure 5, 64) can be located to anchor the member. The practice aid can also include a mat 46 or sheet-like material for a playing surface which can have target guide lines 50, 52, 54 and markings corresponding to predetermined locations for the member. The practice aid may also comprise a marker for location of the ball on the playing surface. The practice aid may include a sensor for one or each of the targets, that is activated when said target is struck. The sensor may be a pressure sensor or a mechanical sensor such as a bell (Figure 3, 34). When the sensor is activated a visible and/or audible alarm may be activated or data relating to a successful strike stored in a processor. The processor may be internal of the practice aid or external e.g. a personal computer. |
