Abstract
An embodiment of a putting target (10) whereby a golf ball is caught utilizing a hydrogel section (16) that is affixed to a section of magnetic sheeting (12). The hydrogel section (16) provides an adhesive catch area so that a golf ball can be effectively caught with its surface. Alternate embodiments of a hydrogel section (16) affixed to magnetic sheeting (12) can be useful in various fields for activities or procedures that require the temporary adherence of a tool, device, decoration, etc., to a magnetic surface.
Claims1
A putting target device whereby a golf ball is caught by a hydrogel affixed to magnetic sheeting, comprising:
- a. a transparent hydrogel section permanently affixed to a magnetic sheeting,
- b. said magnetic sheeting is a printable substrate that contains a graphical depiction of a golf cup,
- c. said transparent hydrogel section is affixed at the center and over said printable substrate,
- d. said transparent hydrogel section capable of catching a golf ball as it crosses a putting target's surface on a ground,
- e. an exposed area of said printable substrate surrounding said transparent hydrogel section assists in the removal of said golf ball,
- f. said magnetic sheeting provides magnetic surface adherence,
- g. said magnetic sheeting provides product rigidity,
- h. a transparent release liner to cover and protect said transparent hydrogel section,
- i. said transparent release liner maintains the visibility of said printable substrate,
- j. said transparent release liner is larger than said transparent hydrogel section,
- k. wherein the target is flat, light weight, capable of effectively catching a golf ball from any angle, and wherein the target has no prominent outer edge or incline that could disrupt the movement of a golf ball.
