Device for practicing putting and chipping strokes

A simulator enabling a golfer to practice his putting skills and at the same time become more aware of an optimum motion of his shoulders and arms during a putting effort,

• said simulator comprising an elongate guide plane of flexible material having a mid portion as well as end portions,
• said guide plane having an active edge, along which a lower portion of the shaft of a putter may pass during putting efforts by the golfer,
• and means for supporting said guide plane at a selected height above a playing surface,
• said supporting means for said guide plane being adjustable, so as to enable the respective heights of said mid and end portions of said guide plane above the playing surface to be independently adjusted, which at the same time determines the positioning of said active edge with respect to the playing surface,
• and an eye alignment mirror utilized with said simulator, by means of which said active edge of said guide plane may be brought into a desired relationship with the target line to the cup, said eye alignment mirror defining a location at which a ball to be putted to the cup may be placed.

A simulator enabling a golfer to practice his putting skills and at the same time become more aware of an optimum motion of his torso during a putting effort,

• said simulator comprising an elongate guide plane of flexible material having a mid portion as well as end portions,
• said guide plane having an active edge, along which a lower portion of the shaft of a putter may pass during putting efforts by the golfer,
• and means for supporting said guide plane at a selected height above a playing surface,
• said supporting means for said guide plane involving a base member, upon which three separate supporting components are hingedly mounted, which supporting components may be folded into a flat relationship to said base member when said guide plane is no longer being used, the effective height of each of said supporting components being independently adjustable so as to enable the respective heights of said mid and end portions of said guide plane above the playing surface to be individually selected, which at the same time determines the positioning of said active edge with respect to the playing surface.
