ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a portable putting and chipping practice apparatus that includes a platform comprised of two portions connected by a hinge. A removable putting surface, preferably made of a carpet-type material, is secured to the top surface of the apparatus. A hole is placed through the surface near one end of the platform, and a backboard surrounds that end of the apparatus. A gutter, which is embedded along the top edges of the apparatus, collects golf balls and is sloped to cause the golf balls to reutrn to the golfer. Under the hole, an embedded tunnel leads golf balls entering the hole back towards the golfer striking the golf ball. The line or speed of the putts may be adjusted by placing small blocks under a side of the apparatus. The golfer may also practice putts of different speeds by replacing the surface material with a material of a finer or heavier cut.
