Abstract:
A golf putting training facility comprising, in combination:a plurality of strip greens each including, a planar putting surface providing a combination of realistic inclination and surface conditions to provide a progressive degree of difficulty, at least one tee area, at least one hole, and said plurality of strip greens having at least one strip green with right to left downhill inclination; at least one strip green with left to right downhill inclination; a least one strip green with longitudinal uphill slope; at least one strip green with longitudinal uphill and transverse left to right downhill slope; at least one strip green with longitudinal uphill and transverse right to left downhill slope; at least one strip green with longitudinal downhill slope; at least one strip green with longitudinal downhill and transverse left to right downhill slope at least one strip green with longitudinal downhill and transverse right to left downhill slope, and means for determining a random tee position comprising a grid of lettered and numbered tee areas located on said putting surface and means for generating random letters and numbers corresponding to the letter and number of tee areas on said putting surface including a first die having designations between one and six, a second die having letters from A to F and a third die having faces of two distinct types having equal probability.
