Abstract:
1. A practice putting system comprising: (a) an elongate track formed as an elongate channel for supporting a golf ball in rolling engagement therealong; and (b) an annular rigid cylindrical collar having a ball-receiving bore and a corresponding bore axis of symmetry, wherein said collar has a height dimension parallel to said bore axis which is less than the diameter of the collar measured perpendicular to said bore axis, and wherein said collar has a substantially cylindrical outside surface disposed radially outwardly of said bore axis whereby said collar may be laid on its side on a planar surface with said bore axis substantially parallel to the planar surface, and wherein said bore is sized to snugly receive the golf ball in frictional engagement in said bore, said collar may be laid on its side and said track may be aligned with said bore so that a golf ball rolling along said track will become frictionally lodged in said bore, whereby, if hit with correct weight, the golf ball will flip said collar over by ninety degrees so as to lay flat with said bore axis then perpendicular to the planar surface.
