ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a golf putting and chipping trainer and desk accessory device (10) for improving a golfer's putting and chipping stroke which can also be used as a desk accessory when not being used as a trainer. The device (10) includes a ramp (20) in combination with a base (40). The ramp (20) has a face (22), an under side (24), a first end (26) and a second end (28). The second end (28) substantially defines an apex (30). The base (40) is rectangular and includes a first side (42), a bottom side (44), and a top side (46) having an aperture (48) contained therein which simulates a golf cup. The first side (42) of the base (40) and the first end (26) of the ramp (20) have a first thickness (58) and are cooperatively engaged. When used as a desk accessory, one or more novelties (56) are mountable to the top side (46) of the base (40). The novelties (56) may be of any of a variety of ornamental or utilitarian articles. The face (22) of the ramp (20) may include a laser engraved-logo. The ramp (20) has an upward slope such that a golf ball (70) which is propelled toward the ramp (20) in line with the aperture (48) at a predetermined rate of speed would cease rolling at a point approximately 17 inches beyond the center of the aperture (48) if the trainer was not present.
