20180008877 · 2018-01-11 · ·

The invention relates to an alignment aid (10) for golfers which provides a reference means for ensuring optimal positioning of the feet, relative both to each other and a golf ball, for a given club selection. The alignment aid comprises a foot-positioning rail (12); a ball-positioning rail (14); and linking arms (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b). The linking arms are pivotably coupled to the respective rails (12, 14) so as to interconnect them and maintain them in a selected spaced apart, substantially parallel alignment. The alignment aid is adjustable between: (i) a fully expanded condition (FIG. 1) in which the spacing of the respective rails is maximised; (ii) a partially collapsed condition (FIG. 2) in which the spacing of the respective rails is reduced relative to the fully expanded condition; and (iii) a fully collapsed condition (FIG. 3) in which the respective rails and linking arms are arranged in a fully overlapped configuration for storage and/or transport.

Golf Putt Measurement Device
20230233920 · 2023-07-27 ·

A description is provided herein of an apparatus comprising a golf ball having embedded electronic components that can measure how far said ball has rolled and its velocity during a putt across a putting surface. Elements of the ball fabrication are described which allow light to be transmitted to interrogation devices which respond depending on the orientation of the ball relative to external light sources. A correlation of light received at various parts of the ball provide an event signal which is interpreted by an on-board processor. Determination of current distance and speed is continuously calculated during the roll of the putted ball. Data is relayed to a secondary device capable of displaying the information to a golfer during putting practice sessions. This will help the golfer to train how hard to hit a putt so that it will roll a known distance.
