Putt sensitive ring

Abstract

Practice putting system using an upright-putting Sensitive Ring. Sensitive Ring design allows the system to indicate a strongly delivered putt with a rocking motion of the Sensitive Ring and its flag. Sensitive Ring receiving a hard hit putt will stand vertically and lay its flag on the floor surface. Sensitive Ring entrance allows for a smooth putt entry with no threshold or surface to putt over. Design of rear Sensitive Ring wall contains additional ring wall material providing additional weight high on the rear ring wall, this feature along with the flag, flag stick and flag stick top knob raise the rings center of gravity making the ring sensitive to the power used to deliver a putt. Sensitive Ring design provides a low tech solution that will allow a practicing golfer to develop a stroke with a sensitive delivery. Sensitive Rings are developed in groups of nine to provide a putting course opportunity for practice or as a game for all skill levels.

1 . Putting ring provides integrated floor level entry  FIG. 6  ( 2 ) to allow a golf ball to enter the ring without needing additional force to cross an entrance threshold of elevated entrance ramp.  
   
   
       2 . Ring design allows the rear wall to be extended  FIG. 3  ( 4 ) to provide added weight above the center line and provide a pole position in the center of the back wall to receive the flag pole assembly  FIG. 5  ( 5 ) and numbered flag  FIG. 12  of  FIG. 13 , allowing for the tip back feature  FIG. 15  that provides the ring sensitivity to a hard or over struck  FIG. 17  putt.  
   
   
       3 . Flag and flagpole assembly will raise the center of gravity point of the putting ring making it more sensitive to putting stroke. Flag shape  FIG. 8  or  FIG. 11  helps provide weight at top of pole. Flag pole  FIG. 14  topped with pole knob ( 9 ) also adds weight to the top of the system.  
   
   
       4 . Putting rings in groups of nine can play like eighteen holes  FIG. 19  with the use of nine double sided flags  FIG. 13  providing for a game atmosphere creating interests and extending practice time. To support the game play, score cards for eighteen holes of play would be part of the program.  
   
   
       5 . Four piece system  FIG. 20  all work together, to allow flag pole assembly  FIG. 14 , to be fitted with a putting ring numbered flag  FIG. 8  or  FIG. 11  that is double sided  FIG. 13 . Top view of putting ring  FIG. 4  ( 5 ), provides the proper placement of flag pole  FIG. 14  ( 6 ), in rear ring wall  FIG. 5  ( 5 ) at an angle of ninety two degrees  FIG. 1  ( 5 ). Putting ring can be extended  FIG. 3  ( 4 ) for added ring weight at the rear ring wall above the ring center line all of these elements of design come together to provide a sensitive putting system, that can react to an over hit putt  FIG. 17 .
