ABSTRACT:
A practice putting cup which teaches a golfer correct putting speed as well as correct putting direction. To overcome imperfections on actual putting greens it is recognized that a putt must be struck with enough speed to not just reach the hole, but be capable of rolling approximately one to two feet past the hole. Further, if a putt is missed, ideally the putt will stop within two to three feet of the hole. Finally, a firmly struck centered putt will fall into the hole even if its speed could carry the ball as much as six to eight feet past the hole. This putting cup recognizes these ball putting speed (or distance) conditions and accordingly accepts or rejects holing putts. Thus the cup uniquely teaches correct speed as well as direction.
