ABSTRACT:
Golf putting apparatus useful for practice and amusement. Golf balls are putted along a path toward a target zone. The width of the path is resolved into segments which define the target zone, bogey zones on opposite sides of the target zone, and multiple bogey zones outside of the bogey zones. The size of the target zone is varied from cycle to cycle to provide holes with different par values. A bonus zone in the center area of the target zone allows birdie and eagle scores to be achieved when a selected number of consecutive putts are made in the bonus zone. Each segment within the target zone is assigned a maximum allowable speed which increases toward the target zone center. Even if a putt is within the target zone, it is considered a miss if the maximum allowable speed for the putt location is exceeded.
