A simulated golf putting green, including a base having an upper surface, lower surface and opposed side walls. A cup is cut into the base to enable golf balls putted thereto, to drop into the cup. A trough returns the golf ball to the starting position. The base is angularly inclined so that the putting is not “on flat.” A backstop enables an errant ball to be returned to the starting position.

A putting practice apparatus for evaluating the striking speed and tempo of a putter includes: an emitting unit (100) that emits light and is provided in a first sensor installation part; a light receiving unit (200) that receives the light emitted from the emitting unit (100); a speed detecting unit (300) and a position measuring unit (400) which respectively detect the speed and measure the position of the golf ball (1); a calculation control unit (500) for performing calculations in order to detect the initial position value of the golf ball (1) as measured by the position measuring unit (400) and the movement speed (Vb) and the moving distance (Hb) of the golf ball (1) as measured by the speed detecting unit (300); and a storage unit (600) for storing the measured speed (Vb) and the measured distance (Hb) of the golf ball (1).

A golf putting stroke practicing device includes a box-like housing designed to lie on any appropriate surface such as a carpeted floor wherein the front and bottom panels of the housing are provided with semi-circular/half-round cutouts that together create the realistic illusion of a regulation golf hole. The front of the housing is configured to deflect errant shots away from the hole opening. The device is easily carried and stored and can hold a number of regulation balls when not in use.

A golf target for use on a body of water having a water surface is described. The golf target comprises a first float having a first diameter and a second float having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The golf target also comprises a mesh having an outer perimeter, a mesh center, and a middle portion extending between the outer perimeter and the mesh center. The outer perimeter of the mesh is affixed to the first float, and the mesh center is affixed to the second float. At least a part of the middle portion is arranged to submerge under the water surface when the golf target is floated on the body of water.

A device for golf putting practice that is an all-in-one golf ball target cup, golf ball collection and storage for up to a dozen golf balls. A quadrilateral tube is connected to a pole with handle. A ball storage bag is connected to the said quadrilateral tube. This device allows for maximum amount of golf ball practice putts in a very short period of time. Balls are dropped on the practice putting surface from the device storage bag. The device is placed at the desired putting target location and putting practice can begin. Ball collection is completed with the device without bending over, reducing the work and time required.

A putting training device and method for monitoring and tracking a golfer's putting activities.

Apparatus for practicing golf, in particular the chipping aspect. The apparatus may be provided as a portable installation or permanent installation for events or entertainment. The apparatus is ideally suited for golfers who cannot attend a full golf course in all weather conditions or prefer to practice their chipping. Raised structures provide chipping and bunker surfaces with the cup as the target. The apparatus is arranged to return the ball to the golfer after every shot.
