Abstract
A gauge for determining the distance of break, on a surface of golf green for a properly putted golf ball moving from a given point toward a golf cup. The gauge includes a base having measure indica at each end thereof and a level indicating member on one edge thereof. A sighting element is pivotally secured with the base and includes measure indica pointing means at each end thereof. By selecting a given point from the golf cup and arranging the base so that the level indicating member indicates level and arranging the sighting element to be coplanar with the surface of the golf green at the golf cup, the indica pointing means will point to measure indica denoting the distance of break of the golf ball to the left or right of the cup.
Claims7
A putting gauge for determining the distance of break of a putted golf ball when putted from a given point on a surface of a golf green toward a golf cup at a proper speed, said gauge including;
- an elongated base member having upper and lower edges and opposite ends each of which includes measuring indica;
- an elongated sighting element pivotally mounted on said base member and having a sighting edge and opposite ends including pointing means alignable with said indicia;
- a bubble level secured to said base member so that said base member may be held in a horizontal position transverse to true vertical and said sighting edge may be arranged in a position corresponding to the slope of said golf green surface at said golf cup and said pointing means points to said measuring indicia to indicate the distance a golf ball properly putted from a predetermined distance will break to the left or right of said golf cup.
