ABSTRACT:
A portable golf putting apparatus includes a simulated grass carpet that can be rolled up in compact sections without interference from any cups. The carpet is unrolled and sections joined together with flat seams that do not interfere with smooth rolling of the ball. Cups are installed at selected locations on the carpet surface. The cups simulate holes in the green by their action but they do not actually descend below the carpet. Each cup includes a central post that attaches to the carpet. An inverted cup housing is held on the post suspended over the carpet surface. Hanging from the perimeter of the housing are many pivotted elements that extend down to a point where they will be contacted by a ball entering the cup area. They pivot inward with the ball but prevent the ball from rolling out, thereby simulating the ball dropping into a real cup.
