ABSTRACT:
A portable golf putting practice kit includes a case member, having a base portion with upstanding walls and a planar bottom surface, and a cover portion hinged to the base portion. The base portion includes one upstanding hinged wall, allowing the hinged wall to pivot outwardly from the base portion and lie flat on a support surface. A cup and ball return insert member is contained within the base portion. The insert member includes a ramp section and a planar plateau section, with the ramp section having an inclined surface extending from the base of the hinged upstanding wall to the planar plateau section. The plateau section includes a cup member with a top opening, a sidewall and a closed bottom end, the cup member extending below the plateau section. Ball return channels extend from the plateau section to the inclined surface at the base of the hinged, upstanding wall. The ball return channels are inclined from the plateau section toward the base of the hinged upstanding wall section. A simulated turf matt member is secured at one end to the plateau section and the ramp section of the insert member and adapted for extension over the hinged wall, which is pivoted outwardly from the base portion and lying flat on a support surface, with the turf matt extending onto the support surface beyond the case member. The rolled turf matt member is contained within the case member with the hinged wall member in an upright orientation and the cover portion secure to the base portion in a closed condition.
