Problems solved by technology

In other situations, an irregularity may force the golfer to putt in a more unconventional fashion around or over the irregularity.
Some golf aids do allow a golfer to practice his putt, but do not translate to real-world skills when putting on a slope, a rise, or rough ter

Embodiment Construction

[0011]Reference now is made to the drawings, in which the same reference characters are used throughout the different figures to designate the same elements. FIG. 1 illustrates a golf putting aid 10 useful for improving a golfer's ability to putt close to a hole by providing a guide for the ball. The aid 10 flexibly bounds a target line for putting on flat, sloped, rising, or falling ground, and can be manipulated to bound a variety of target lines and approaches without deteriorating the quality of the training because of the failure of the aid 10. The aid 10 is preferably constructed from a single sheet of material or a combination of materials having the characteristics of flexibility and durability, such as vinyl.

[0012]The aid 10 includes two opposed legs 11 and 12 and a base 13. The legs 11 and 12 are each connected monolithically to the base 13, such that the legs 11 and 12 are coupled to each other via the base 13. For purposes of orientation and clarity of the description, t...

Abstract

A golf putting aid includes a first leg and a second leg formed monolithically to a base from a sheet of flexible and resilient material. A plane is defined by the first and second legs and by the base. The first and second legs can be moved into and out of the plane, as well as laterally within the plane.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to sporting equipment, and more particularly to training aids for improvement of golf ball putting.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Accuracy, precision, and consistency are vitally important in the play of golf. The sport depends on careful alignment of the club or putter with the eye, the body to the ball, and the ball with the hole or a target line. Often times, that target line corresponds directly with the center of the hole. Other times, however, the target line may correspond more closely to the side of the hole, or may be away from the hole altogether. In still other situations, the target line may be curved rather than straight, or may follow a rise or fall in the green. In other situations, an irregularity may force the golfer to putt in a more unconventional fashion around or over the irregularity.[0003]Alignment of the ball along a target line is a careful and crucial process. Hitting the ball along the t...
