A golf device including an elongated portion. The golf device may include a sub elongated portion recessed in the elongated portion. The golf device may include an arch portion slideably engageable inside the sub elongated portion.

According to the various features characteristics and embodiments of the present invention which will become apparent as the description thereof proceeds, the present invention provides partially fingered gloves intended to increase the overall performance in sports activities including but limited to football and golf. Primarily because of its unique finger configurations, and/or grip enhancers, and/or hand protective properties, the present invention makes a glove more operable in various sports activities.

A distance detector comprising: a laser transmitter and receiver for generating a laser beam to irradiate an object and to receive return light reflected in response from the object, an image detection system for generating an image of a view, the image detection system including an objective lens for collecting light from the view, an image sensor for receiving light collected by the objective lens and for generating the image therefrom, and a digital display for displaying the image such that the digital display displays a real-time image of the view, a laser beam indicium on the digital display or a laser beam indicium generator configured to display laser beam indicium on the digital display, wherein the laser beam indicium indicates a direction of the laser beam, and a range-finding system for determining the distance to an object irradiated by the laser beam using return light and for displaying distance.

Methods and apparatus for a tapered flagstick according to various aspects of the present technology include a transition region disposed along the length of the flagstick that corresponds to ground level when the flagstick is positioned in a golf hole. The transition region comprises a contact zone having a surface that angled towards a center axis of the flagstick resulting in a narrowing of the diameter of the flagstick at or just above ground level. A normal line coming out of the contact zone has an angle of less than ninety degrees and generally points downward towards the ground altering the impact angle of a golf ball striking the flagstick to direct the golf ball in a more downward manner.

A golf device including an elongated portion. The golf device may include a sub elongated portion recessed in the elongated portion. The golf device may include an arch portion slideably engageable inside the sub elongated portion.

A foldable target game having a circular foldable target having a lip and a pocket continuously disposed on an outer perimeter. A flexible wire ring is disposed within the pocket. The circular foldable target has an open configuration having a first diameter of at least six feet and an alternate folded configuration having a second diameter of most three feet. An inner circle design and a middle circle design are disposed on the circular foldable target. A plurality of tear shaped apertures, a plurality of ovular apertures, a plurality of pie shaped apertures, and a circular aperture are disposed through the circular foldable target. A webbing is disposed on the bottom side of the circular foldable target across each aperture. A telescopable flag pole is planted within the circular aperture. A projectile such as a golf ball is shot onto the target to score points in a game.

A method to create a water permeable and water shuttling sand bunker by forming a continuous bunker edge, installing a drain assembly, installing a synthetic tufted surface and a continuous integral edge overlapping polymer mesh, depositing a non-woven dual smooth surfaced geo-textile over the mesh and forming a sand layer. Water flows from the continuous bunker edge over the synthetic tufted surface and the non-woven dual smooth surfaced geo-textile to the drain assembly preventing the drain assembly from clogging, thereby forming a water permeable and water shuttling sand bunker.

A reusable bottle cap includes a panel having a top surface and a bottom surface. A sidewall extends downwardly from a periphery of the panel away from the bottom surface. The sidewall is configured to engage with an outer surface of a bottle neck proximate a rim of the bottle when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck. A peg extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel and is spaced from the sidewall. The peg is configured to be spaced from an inner surface of the bottle neck when the reusable bottle cap is coupled to the bottle neck.
