ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a device used to practice putting including a putting station and a remote target station. The putting station comprises a mat on which two parallel rows of posts are provided which straddle parallel strips that serve as guides for the putting head. The number of posts in each row may be the same or different. If there is an unequal number of posts, an entry way and an exit way is provided through which the club head may be moved by the golfer when swinging at the ball. The target station includes a body member having two parallel ramps, separated by a vertical wall, which lead to a collector section. One ramp serves as an entry ramp and target. The other ramp serves as an exit ramp to allow the ball to move under the force of gravity from the collector section. The collector section includes a lip which acts as a stop to prevent the ball from rolling beyond the target station if it is moving at the desired speed, but will allow the ball to roll over it if it is moving at an excessive speed.
