A golf green topographic overlay and target assist apparatus assists players develop their short game by demarking the fall line of a green on the low side of a target area or cup. The overlay includes a sight area which is placed over top of a target area or cup. The player shoots upon the green proper, the ball ending upon the overlay. If ending in the sight area, then the player has holed the shot. If the shot ends upon the overlay, but outside of the sight area, then the player has misjudged the break but has used the correct amount of force to properly hole the shot had the break been properly judged. The overlay is useful for practicing on actual greens where a player is apt to play.

A physical exercise assistant system and method are disclosed. The physical exercise assistant system includes a pattern generator, a pattern marker, and a user interface. The pattern generator is configured to generate a plurality of geometric patterns. The pattern marker is coupled to the pattern generator and configured to produce a first one of the plurality of geometric patterns on a ground. The user interface is configured to display the plurality of geometric patterns and receive an input for selecting the first one of the plurality of geometric patterns.

A wearable training apparatus has a vision-control assembly and a head-mounting assembly coupled to the vision-control assembly. The vision-control assembly has a see-through area corresponding to a central portion of the human field of vision (FOV), and a vision-blocking area for blocking the human peripheral FOV except the central portion thereof. The wearable training apparatus may be in the form of a pair of eyeglasses with lenses provided with reduced FOV or alternatively, may be in the form of a goggle with reduced FOV. A training system may comprise one or more wearable training apparatus, one or more imaging devices for recording images and/or video streams of the performance of users wearing the training apparatuses, and one or more computing devices for playing back and analyzing the recorded images and/or video streams.

A golf ball retrieval device which includes a receiver configured to be removably mounted to a golf pin. Further, a receiver body may be congruent to a counterweight of the golf pin. Further, the receiver indexes to the golf pin. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include a collar comprising a hollow structure concentric to the receiver. Further, the collar may be configured to permit passage of the golf pin through the golf ball retrieval device. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include an insertable grommet configured to enable a user to adapt the collar to fit the golf pin of a minimal diameter. Further, the golf ball retrieval device may include a platform comprising a surface protruding radially from a combined form of the collar and the receiver.

A tactical board includes embedded magnets secured therewithin the tactical board. A transparent cover overlays the magnets and substrate. A stylus is provided to manipulate the position of the magnets on the substrate. The tactical board preferably includes indicia in the form of common sorts playing surfaces or the like.

A level attachment having a cylindrical tubing with a first half and a second half is capable of being removably secured about a weight lifting bar. A first embodiment employs a magnetic attachment means and second embodiment employs a clasping means. Within the first half is disposed a spirit level.

The present disclosure is directed to an exercise mat including a base layer, the base layer defining a recess therein configured to receive a cartridge holding paint and a painting surface, a top layer operatively connected to the base layer, at least one magnet or other fastening mechanism embedded within the base layer, and at least one magnet embedded within the top layer.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a multi-purpose functional ruck weight (FRW). The FRW includes a packing mode, a two-handed swinging mode, and a dumbbell mode. The FRW is a weight reflectively mirrored about a bisecting longitudinal axis. The weight includes a top and a bottom surface. The FRW includes a swing handle defined by a first aperture extending through the top and bottom surfaces. The weight may be carried in a rucksack against the user's body in a packing mode. The first aperture may be configured such that the first and second hand of the user, in a two-handed swinging mode, are spatially distributed and oriented along intersecting axes. The grip handle may be configured, in a dumbbell mode, such that the user's first hand is inserted through the second and third aperture to grip the grip handle at the center of the FRW.

The present disclosure includes apparatuses, devices, and systems for use and handling of sporting accessories, such as golfing equipment. Some of the systems may include a golf bag having an integrated magnetic plate that extends along a first side of the golf bag and is configured to interact with a first magnetic field, a magnetic hub configured to interact with a second magnetic field, the magnetic hub configured to be coupled to the golf bag via a fastener; a magnetic holder configured to hold a first golf accessory such that the first golf accessory is secured to the golf bag while the magnetic holder is coupled to the magnetic plate or the magnetic hub, or combination thereof.

Distance display systems and methods are included which may be used to display an accurate range from a cup of a golf hole to a plurality of tee hitting positions.
