Abstract
Methods and devices for improving putting. The device includes a representation of a green on which a plurality of putting benchmarks are projected. The representation may also include elevation indicia and indicators of the speed and predominant grain direction of the green. The device is used to enable golfers to accurately read the green and determine the speed and direction along which a particular ball should be putted. Methods of using and creating the device are also disclosed, as are additional embodiments of putting improvement devices.
Claims43
A puffing improvement device, comprising:
- a monitor having a viewing surface;
- a processor having a memory region;
- and
- digital putting information stored in the memory region, wherein the digital puffing information includes a representation of at least one green and a plurality of putting indicia on the representation, wherein each of the putting indicia identifies a determined path along which a golf ball will travel when putted on the green, and wherein the processor is adapted to display the digital putting information on the viewing surface, and further wherein each of the paths is Al determined at least in part by an empirical method that includes measuring the trajectory of a ball propelled along the green.
