Abstract
A device for practicing putting strokes includes flexible side walls which enclosingly define the putter's swing area and the intended travel path of a struck golf ball so that a faulty putting swing may be detected when the struck ball deviates from the intended path. The side walls extend between a spaced pair of vertical support surfaces and are adjustably demountably interlaced in slots therein so that the spacing between the supports and the spacing between the side walls may be altered. The flexible side walls may be formed by a single elongated flexible strap. Weighted stabilizer blocks may be attached to the outwardly facing surfaces of the side walls. The practice device may also be configured to provide for anchoring of the supports to suitable fixed objects.
Claims7
A putting stroke practice device comprising:
- (a) a spaced pair of support brackets each having a vertical surface, said support brackets positionable with their respective vertical surfaces facing each other;
- (b) a pair of elongated strap members each having opposite planar surfaces and each formed of thin flexible material, said pair of strap members each extending between said pair of support brackets in spaced parallel relationship with the opposite planar surfaces of said strap members being vertically disposed;
- (c) said pair of strap members and said pair of support brackets restingly positionable on any surface which is suitable for putting for enclosingly defining a portion of that surface as having a putter swing area and an intended travel path of a struck golf ball;
- (d) connection means formed adjacent each of the opposite side edges of the vertical surfaces of said pair of support brackets for demountably connecting said pair of strap members to said pair of support brackets, said pair of strap members adjustably positionable in said connection means for varying the spacing between said pair of support brackets and for varying the spacing between said pair of strap members;
- and
- (e) anchoring means extending rearwardly from each of said pair of support brackets for demountably attaching said support brackets to fixed objects.
