Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Regardless of your skill level; it is imperative for a golfer to practice in order to improve their golf score. Most golf courses provide a practice putting green where golfers, prior to playing a round of golf can spend time practicing putting their golf ball towards a regulation golf hole with the intent to roll or sink the ball into the regulation golf hole. [0002] The purpose of this invention is to reduce the size of the opening of a regulation golf hole. When a golfer is practicing putting at a regulation golf hole with the reducer in place it will be a greater test of the golfers skill, concentration, and focus. Once a golfer uses the reducer and can consistently sink their golf ball into the smaller opening, it would appear that when they go out to play their round of golf it would make the regulation golf hole seem larger and easier to sink more putts, resulting in better scoring. [0003] Golf is a game of feel, touch, and good habits. Therefore, the color of the reducer is a key aspect of the invention. When a golfer reads a putt or looks down the line of a putt it would not be considered a good practice to be looking at something that you would not see on an official golf hole. If a golf player can visualize a regulation golf hole with the reducer in place as something not out of the ordinary it would lead to enhanced feel, touch, and good habits. With a golfer retaining to memory the look and feel of a smaller opening, when the golfer is playing in a real situation, the regulation golf hole should seem much larger but not out of the ordinary due to the colors. The color of grass on all golf greens are not the same shade of green, but most golf holes are painted white on the inside. [0004] It is extremely important for golfers to not destroy the opening or lip of a regulation golf hole. Hence, this reducer is comprised of foam or sponge, which eliminates the risk of damaging the regulation golf hole. In addition, since the reducer is affixed to the inside of the regulation golf hole using friction there would be no need to poke holes or affix the reducer to the regulation golf hole where damage could be made. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT [0005] Referring to the drawings in greater detail, #1 represents the golf hole reducer; the reducer has an outside diameter #10 slightly larger than a regulation golf hole #2 with a hole cut out of the center #11 with an inner diameter #12 smaller than a regulation golf hole #2 but larger than a regulation golf ball #3. The top of the reducer #15 has a greenish color to match the color of a golf green #4. The inside of the reducer #14 is whitish in color to match the inside of a regulation golf hole #2 [0006] The reducer #1 is made of foam or sponge material that can be easily compressed with a human hand then placed inside a regulation golf hole #2 and released. Once released, the reducer #1 re-takes its original circular shape and will frictionally be affixed inside the regulation golf hole #2 ready for a golfer to start practicing putting. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a golfer with a practice device that reduces the opening of a regulation golf hole to a smaller diameter. [0008] The second objective is to train the eye of a golfer to aim at a smaller opening while still having the feel and look of a regulation golf hole. [0009] The third objective is that the reducer can be easily inserted and withdrawn from a regulation golf hole without damaging the opening of the regulation golf hole. [0010] The forth objective is to make the reducer out of a one-piece foam or sponge material, making manufacturing easy and inexpensive.
