摘要： A golf putting stroke practicing device includes a box-like housing designed to lie on any appropriate surface such as a carpeted floor wherein the front and bottom panels of the housing are provided with semi-circular/half-round cutouts that together create the realistic illusion of a regulation golf hole. The front of the housing is configured to deflect errant shots away from the hole opening. The device is easily carried and stored and can hold a number of regulation balls when not in use.

摘要： A golf cup device that can be easily removed and replaced at a desired height or elevation relative to surrounding turf includes an outer sleeve and an inner cup assembly that slides into the outer sleeve. A height adjustment mechanism connects the inner cup assembly to the outer sleeve, allowing a user to mount the inner cup assembly at various heights/elevations relative to the outer sleeve. This allows the outer sleeve to be initially buried within the ground and then the inner cup assembly to be positioned within the installed outer sleeve.

摘要： A ball lifting device having an elevator is attachable to a flagstick for enabling easy removal of a golf ball that is holed while putting with the flagstick in place in the cup. The elevator may be attached to a handle portion that extends up along the pole portion of the flagstick allowing the elevator to be raised by way of the handle portion. The handle portion may have a hook portion for hooking up with a golf club so that hand contact with the device is eliminated. The handle portion may be a thin member. The handle portion may be a tubular portion. The elevator may be spring loaded with the spring manually loaded by a golfer and released to eject the golf ball from the cup.

摘要： The golf flagstick with ball retrieval attachment is designed to assist a player in removing a golf ball from a golf cup after the player has played the ball into the cup. The golf flagstick includes a flag mounted proximate a top end of the golf flagstick and a ball retrieval attachment mounted proximate a bottom end of the golf flagstick. The ball retrieval attachment includes a ball retrieval body mounted on the flagstick using a ball retrieval fastener and adjustment mechanism. The ball retrieval fastener and adjustment mechanism allows for height adjustable attachment of the ball retrieval body on the flagstick to compensate for different golf cup depths.

摘要： A combination flagstick and ball retrieval device include an elongated flagstick having a top end and a bottom end. A ferrule is positioned along the bottom end of the flagstick, and a ball retrieval device is secured along the flagstick at a location adjacent to the ferrule. Both the ferrule and the ball retrieval device include a shape and size that is suitable for engaging a golf course cup. The ball retrieval device includes a generally circular frame having a central aperture and a slotted channel for receiving a connector that is secured onto the flagstick. The connector including protrusions to engage the slotted channel. The ball retrieval device also includes a malleable and resilient upper member having an outside diameter that is greater than the outside diameter of the frame member.

摘要： A system that wirelessly integrates actual game equipment with a computer and the internet to allow players remotely located from one another to play a competitive real or simulated game of golf. An individual player may opt to play solo or practice to improve basic golfing techniques. The system includes smart golf clubs, a golf ball receptacle, and a golf club motion sensing devices, all containing circuits, contact and or noncontact motion sensors coupled with signal processing and radio frequency transmitter circuitry to wirelessly communicate game performance information to a remote receiver-computer. The computer displays player information and visually simulates and controls a game between one or more local players or via the internet having similar equipment and remotely located from each other. Standard golf clubs may be retrofitted with the sensors and associated circuitry to convert such clubs into “smart clubs” for use with the system. The system employs specially developed computer software to process player performance data, control game play, communicate game information between players, generate and control visual simulations, and display player performance information and dynamic motion parameters.
