Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to practicing putting or using putting as a game format, where multiple putting rings provide an opportunity for unlimited layouts using a putting ring that is sensitive to power applied to each putt. This system allows for a low technical response for a putt that is over hit. Putt Sensitive Ring uses a ring design with weight distributed to the rear wall and open to the floor entry into the ring. Weight at the rear along with a flag, a flag pole and a flag pole top knob help to raise the center of gravity of the ring improves the ring sensitivity. The ring height allows an entering golf ball to strike the ring wall above the mid-line adding to the sensitivity of the ring. Four-piece design simplifies operation and manufacturing. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention is designed to meet the above requirements and provides the ability to introduce people of all ages and physical condition to the sport of golf. Here the sport of golf is represented by the refined stroke of putting that can be brought indoors and made available to a larger population. With the ability to control layout and terrain practice and play can provide a challenge and support a real practice routine. For a better understanding of the structure of the invention and its function, further explanation is given below with reference to the attached drawings.
