A golf putting practice apparatus, comprising:
- three interlockable panels, wherein each interlockable panel includes:
- a first face and an opposite second face;
- a top edge and an opposite bottom edge;
- a first side edge and an opposite second side edge;
- an opening extending between the first face and the second face, wherein the opening is equidistant between the first side edge and the second side edge;
- and
- a first end connector proximate the first side edge and a second end connector proximate the second side edge, the first end connector being configured to interlock with a second end connector on an adjacent panel,
- wherein the three interlockable panels are configured to interlock to form a triangular enclosure having three openings opposite to three corners,
- wherein the first end connector is provided along the first side edge and the second end connector is provided along the second face,
- wherein the first end connector has a male-shaped cross-section that extends along the first side edge and the second end connector has a female-shaped cross-section that extends along the second face, the male-shaped cross-section including a neck and a head portion that extends outward from the neck,
- wherein the neck is positioned between the first face and the second face so that it is closer to the first face than the second face, and
- wherein the three interlockable panels are assembled so that each first side edge is flush with each second face and each second side edge is flush with each first face.
