Golf Ball Returning Device from Both a Golf Net Training Device and a Putting Training Device

Abstract

A tight mesh golf net with a support frame that returns the ball to a wide channel at the back of a putting training device, which also returns balls that fall through a hole on the surface of a rising platform, or roll off the surface of the raised platform, the highest point of the raised platform being away from the golfer who is practicing putting, the wide channel being higher on the end away from the ball return channel, and lower at the point of the return channel, which returns golf balls to the practicing golfer, the tight mesh golf net has three target squares on it roughly in the middle of the net, one square near the bottom of the middle of the net, the bottom target square, one on top of the bottom target square, the middle target square, and one square on top of the middle target square, the top target square.

Claims

1. A device that returns practice golf balls to the user from both a return net and golf balls that fall through putting holes comprising; a putting platform; a raised platform rising up from the putting platform with a slanted section connecting the putting platform to the raised platform section, the raised platform located towards the end of the putting platform furthest away from the golfer, two putting holes, one larger and one smaller, on the top of the raised platform section of the putting platform; the return net rising from the back of the putting platform, attached to the back of the device; a back channel on the end of the putting platform furthest away from the user, that collects balls that fall down from the net, and also collects balls that fall through the putting holes or putts that miss the putting holes and roll off the back of the raised platform section of the putting platform, the back channel lies across the back of the platform and is elevated above a ball return channel, and an end of the back channel, on the opposite side of the ball return channel is raised over the other end of the back channel’ the back channel on the side of the putting platform opposite a ball return channel being higher than the opposite side, the ball return channel, which runs alongside the putting platform, is lower than the back channel front to facilitate the ball moving in the desired direction to the user. the ball return channel having a higher end at the end of the putting platform furthest away from the user. Whereby, when a golf ball enters one of the putting holes it enters a back channel it then moves through gravity on the slanted back channel and drops into the lower ball return channel where the ball flows through gravity created by a slanted ball return channel back to the user. Whereby, when a golf ball goes into the return net, it falls down and enters a back channel which moves the ball, through gravity on the slanted back channel, where the lower end is still higher than the ball return channel, where the ball flows through gravity created by a slanted channel back to the user.

2. The device of claim 1 with a putting platform with a raised platform section rising away from the putting platform near the end of the putting platform furthest from the golfer, with the putting surface having multiple holes.

Description

SUMMARY OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] FIG. 1 shows a ¾ view of the golf net and putting training device.

[0026] FIG. 2 shows a back view of the golf net and putting training device.

[0027] FIG. 3 shows golf balls moving through the golf net and putting training device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

[0028] FIG. 1 shows the device from a ¾ view. The device comes with a putting surface and a chipping matt that goes on top of the putting surface to hit balls into the golf net. The device has a return net 6 which drops balls into a back channel 7, and the balls then flow to a ball return channel 2, before being returned to the point of the device closest to the golfer. A putting surface 1 has an incline platform 3 on the section furthest from the golfer, with a golf hole 4 on one side of the raise platform and a smaller sized hole 5 on the other side of the raised platform. FIG. 1 also shows the slanted portion of the raised platform 12 that rises to the top of the raised platform section of the putting platform.

[0029] FIG. 2 shows the device from the rear, showing the back channel 7 that balls from the net 6 and balls that through a putting hole (4 and 5) flow into, and also putts that go off the end of the raised platform section 3. Golf balls 8 are shown so the path of the golf balls 8 through the back channel can be seen. FIG. 2 also shows the raised end of the back channel 9, the lower end of the back channel 10, which is still above the return ball channel, and the raised end of the ball return channel 11

[0030] FIG. 3 shows the path of the golf ball 8 through the side channel 2, the golf balls coming both from the golf net 6 and the putting holes 4 and 5.
