A golf putting apparatus that is portable and designed to enhance a golfer's skill level is presented. The apparatus includes a strip made of a flexible material and a carrier unit configured to detachably couple with the strip, the carrier unit having a first wall around which the strip is wound for storage, the first wall defining a cavity that is configured to hold a ball.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to one or more golf alignment rods that can be used as a multipurpose golf training aid, such as to teach proper golf club alignment and/or swing technique. Particularly, the alignment rod comprises a base defined by a first end and a second end. The alignment rod further includes a cap positioned at one end of the base. The cap comprises a magnet positioned on an interior surface. The magnet allows two or more alignment rods to be removably coupled together, such as when stored upright in a golf bag. In this way, movement of the alignment rods in the golfer's bag (e.g., when the cart is in motion) is minimized. In addition, the alignment rods are more easily accessible when needed by the golfer.

A golf putting apparatus that indicates a desired putting path and target. The apparatus includes near and far gates with crossbeams and tassels that hang from the crossbeams. The crossbeams hold the gates high enough such that the tassels do not touch the ground, and a golf ball rolls under the crossbeam without touching it. The near gate is located a first distance from a ball striking location, and the far gate is located a further distance from the ball striking location. A center tassel of the near gate can indicate a centerline of a desired putting path. Left and right tassels of the near gate can indicate edges of the desired putting path. A center tassel of the far gate can indicate the center of a putting target. Left and right tassels of the far gate can indicate edges of the putting target.

A simple and convenient multiuse use golf tool enables several valuable functions using an elongated ground stake that is slidably received into an elongated u-channel member. In this way, the ground stake may be held within the u-channel when not in use, for example during transport, and may be removed for use. In a first use, the ground stake has a divot repair tool at one end, and may be extended such that the u-channel and the ground stake cooperate as an extended lever to assist in easy divot repair. In the second use, the ground stake has a golf ball channel, and when the ground stake is placed on the ground, the golf ball channel may assist the golfer in achieving a consistent putt swing. In third use, the u-channel has a void in its base for perpendicularly receiving the ground stake. In this way, the golfer is enabled to practice proper position relative to a pin. In a forth use, the ground stake is made from a magnetic metal, or coated with a magnetic surface, such that a magnet attached to a phone or camera allows easy positioning of a camera relative to the golfer.

The present disclosure relates to a putting practice device for developing a putting motion for accurately striking a golf ball to a target spot, wherein the putting practice device can be used irrespective of a trajectory and curvature formed by a putter head when striking the golf ball. In addition, the present disclosure includes an auxiliary fastening unit for fastening the putter head to a mounting part.

A system and process for training a user's sports swing to maintain arm position and body rotation so as to promote a proper swing arc. The system includes a waist wrap having one or more attachment area on an outer surface. The system also includes one or more training blocks configured for attachment to the attachment area depending upon the type of swing being practices. The process promotes a proper swing arc by indicating incorrect arm position and/or body rotation through excessive contact between the user's arms and the training blocks during the swing. The goal of the system and process is to train a user's muscle memory for the correct arm position and body rotation in a proper swing arc.

A golf putting practice device is provided, including: a box, two supporting feet and a marking piece, tops of the two supporting feet are pivotally connected to the bottom of the box, folded and pressed to the bottom surface of the box when not in use, and the marking piece is installed on the box and partially exposed below the box; when the two supporting feet are unfolded and flip open to stand on the ground, the two supporting feet and the box form a goal, and the marking piece is located between the two supporting feet for aiming and putting practice.

A golf instruction method, apparatus and analytics platform for determining the state of a putted golf ball relative to a target using information about the golf ball and external variables and remotely displaying the same, comprising a base unit, a mobile device or terminal, and an associated computer program including an analytics engine for analyzing a user's performance. The computer program determines whether and how a putted golf ball has missed said target and then stores, aggregates and displays that information for a user. The analytics engine is operable to aggregate data, analyze data and then correlate a user's actual skill proficiency to ball performance.

A golf target assembly for facilitating target practice with golf shots includes a target tree comprising a base portion, a trunk portion extending upwardly from the base portion and a plurality of arms each extending away from the trunk portion. A plurality of target hangers is each coupled to a respective one of the arms such that each of the target hangers hangs downwardly from the respective arm. A plurality of targets is each attachable to a respective one of the target hangers be shot at with golf shots. Each of the targets is comprised of a frangible material such that each of the targets shatters when the targets are struck with a projectile. In this way the plurality of targets facilitates a visual alert to the user when a golf ball strikes one of the targets.

A golfing apparatus for assisting a golfer in putting includes a guide member adapted to encourage only certain motions during the golf swing to improve the engagement of ball with club and subsequently improve ball control, trajectory and speed. Further the golfing apparatus includes a movable member configured to slide along a path defined by the guide member and coupled with the putter handle. The guide member is affixed to the waist of a golfer. The guide member is curved to follow a natural rotation of arms and shoulders of the golfer and can be adjusted for proper angle that best fits a golfer's stance and has a second planar back stop surface to further align and control the movement of the putter club head, thereby assisting the golfer in putting.
