Abstract:
A configurable flexible putting green system and methods provide a golf putting experience on a highly configurable simulated putting green surface. A movable, flexible turf belt is tensioned between storage devices at each end of the turf belt. A portion of the turf belt is configured as a putt spot, supporting the player's weight and simulating a real putting experience. The system is provided with actuators underneath the turf belt for creating a variety of undulations, inclinations, and declinations so as to simulate a wide variety of golf putting scenarios. A golf computer is provided for controlling the turf belt and undulators to simulate golf putting conditions according to a database of simulated golf putting terrain matching existing golf courses.

Claim (Index 7):
The system of  claim 6  further characterized in that both the first and second storage devices each comprise two elongated rotating elements on which the turf belt is rolled onto and from which the turf belt is unrolled from, both said rolling-up and said unrolling-from under the control of a computer controlled drive unit, said computer controlled drive unit operable to move said turf belt in said forward direction and in said backward direction without creating a un-tensioned portion in said playable portion of said turf belt.
