Putting practice apparatus

Abstract: A putting practice device includes a generally horizontal rectangular putting board including a base member, and a layer of grass-like synthetic plastic material bonded to the upper surface of the base member, thereby to define a putting board. Two diagonally-arranged corner portions of the putting board contain putting holes that extend downwardly through the grass-like layer partially into the base member. At least one alignment string is supported in space relation above the grass-like layer, which alignment string extends over one of the putting holes in a direction parallel with a longitudinal edge of the putting board. Vertical adjustment devices are provided at the corner portions of the putting board for varying the heights of the corner portions relative to a fixed support. Preferably, to provide a universal putting board, putting holes are provided in all four corners, and the two non-used holds are filled by a removable filler plug. (end of abstract)
