Trainers tell us that good golf is all about muscle memory. Putting is the most important part golf. If muscle memory was ever important, memory over the long putt is the most important of all. Putting plays an important role in improving the golfers overall score. If we can take out the ‘2 putt’ count, and bring it down to ‘1 putt’, that would be an 18 stroke savings over a round of golf. Putting is also based on confidence. Having the confidence you will be able to make a putt because you have done this before with success. Teaching and training for different green situations is key to the results experienced during the golf round. The ability to read the green and understand the ball movements with different breaks and mounds on the green is a factor of practice. Repetitive training with the Golf Back Board will improve the golfers' game. This will allow you to pay more attention to other aspects of your game. The old saying ‘you drive for show, you putt for dough . . . ’ has great meaning for the Pro's. Now it can have great meaning for the amateur as well.
1- A poly-propylene plastic—injection molded—one piece golf accessory that assembles from being flat and stored in the golf bag, to a rounded cup with a back board. The final molded thickness of the Golf BackBoard walls measures 0.080 cm (centimeter thick).
2- as claim contained in claim 1—The plastic color of the Golf BackBoard can range from simple, translucent, to custom coloring. This will allow representation of a team or company color. This is all dependent on the color of the plastic used in the injection process.
3- As a putting training tool, the Golf BackBoard will assist golfers in depth perception training. The goal of this training is to be able to get the golf ball to the hole in one stroke. Most golfers leave the golf ball short of the golf hole which results in a second and maybe a third attempt. The unique shape of the Golf BackBoard will provide the trainee with a chance for a one putt.
4- as claimed contained in claim 3—The arched shape of the Golf BackBoard is flexible enough to be tailored to the golfer. The concave shape, when struck at an acceptable speed, will guide the golf ball into the golf cup. The intention here is to give the golfer a feeling of encouragement and satisfaction so they will be more confident on the golf course in actual play.
5- As a target to allow visual aim and ‘break’ reveal. The target of the Golf BackBoard is the center focus of a golfer. This is the point all golfers strive to hit at the correct angle and the correct speed.
6- as claimed contained in claim 5—The target is the prime location to aim the ball to. But without consideration of breaks and mounds on the golf green the golfer has little ways to practice speed control. Without speed control and depth perception, the golfer has little chance to get the ball close. The Golf BackBoard will allow effective practice.
7- as claimed in claim 5—The right and left wings of the Golf BackBoard will spread right and left of the golf hole. This spread will clearly represent the break of the golf hole closest to the golf hole. The angle of the wings perpendicular to the golf ball path will show the break. The area closest to the golf is the trickiest/hardest area for the golfer to read.
8- Easy ball retrieval for the practice green. Golf ball retrieval from the bottom of the golf hole forces a golfer to bend 5 inches below their feet. Difficult for many so they may skip practice. The Golf BackBoard stands 5 inches above the ground. The cup holds up to 4 golf balls. The golfer simply needs to bend no more than 4 inches above the ground to be able to retrieve the balls in the cup. This will bring enjoyment to the golfer with back issues.
9- Assembly is quick and easy. The lower center wings connect (locks) together to form the rounded lower cup wall. The bottom flips up and locks in-place within this lower cup to form the bottom of the cup. This can hold the weight of 3 or 4 golf balls at once.
10- The upper section remains wide and open. The upper section forms the guiding wings that allow the Golf BackBoard to give the player a larger target when aiming for the golf hole. The upper section wings give the golfer up to 12.5 inch wide target. It will be used to stop the golf ball from rolling past the hole and guiding the ball back into the cup. This provides the golfer with a feel for speed because too fast a putt will be bounced off the Golf BackBoard as it would for a normal hole.
11- Ad Space—The white space that stretches across the Golf BackBoard (12.5 inches) will be used for branding and advertising space. This is a secondary selling item for revenue and sales. The intention here is to allow the Golf BackBoard to be sold/licensed to promotion companies and golf equipment companies.
