Adjustable putting green system and method thereof

A system for a person to practice putting, the system comprising:

• a framework;
• a plurality of actuators coupled to the framework in an array, each actuator including guide structure, a motor and a shaft, the shaft vertically oriented to extend below an upper support such that, upon the motor actuating movement of the shaft, the guide structure guides vertical and linear movement of the shaft relative to the framework, the upper support being coupled to an end of the shaft so that the upper support moves upward and downward as the shaft moves respectively upward and downward to move the upper support to various predetermined heights, the upper support having an upward facing surface;
• an artificial green including a putting surface with a cup defined in the putting surface, the artificial green positioned over the actuators such that the upward facing surface of the upper support directly contacts an underside of the artificial green below the putting surface;
• a control system configured to control actuation of the actuators;
• and
• a computing device coupled to the control system and configured to communicate with the control system, the computing device operatively coupled to a display and including user input controls.

• an artificial green having a putting surface with a cup defined in the putting surface, the artificial green positioned over the actuators, the upward facing surface of the upper support of each of the actuators directly contacting an underside of the artificial green below the putting surface;
• a control system configured to control actuation of the actuators;
