Patent ID: 7563171

Claim:
A practice assembly for practicing putting a golf ball, comprising: a ramp having a predetermined ramp angle for receiving a golf ball projected along a horizontal surface thereby translating horizontal energy of the golf ball into vertical energy; a member receiving said golf ball from said ramp and having a plurality of receptors sequentially spaced from said ramp each sequential receptor being correlated with sequentially greater distances on a putting green thereby simulating putting distances whereby the distance disposed between a given receptor and said ramp is shorter than a correlated distance on a putting green and said predetermined ramp angle is calculated to reduce the distance of a given receptor to a correlated distance on a putting green in a repeatable manner thereby simulating actual distances on a putting green with said receptors sequentially spaced from said ramp; said member comprises a plurality of sections interconnected to define an inclined axis; each of said sections comprising an upper portion and a lower portion having a lower return channel; and said upper portion and said lower portion are interchangeable thereby alternating said lower channel for returning the golf ball to said ramp.
