Abstract:
A golf putting training device that indicates the proper aim point on sloped putting surfaces such as golf course greens and compensates for the slope of the various putting surfaces. The device comprises a platform supporting one or more spirit levels. The device can be elevated upon the putting green surface to permit a golf ball to roll underneath the device when the ball is putted towards the indicated aim point; or not elevated when aim points are referenced to the golf cup or hole.
Abstract:
An apparatus used in the medical industry, in order to increase transpulmonary pressure and respiratory volumes, to improve inspiratory muscle performance and re-establish the normal pulmonary hyperinflation, through the employment of electronic technology, providing audible, simulated, verbal, human sounding words, that assist, guide and prompt, increasing patient usage. In the past, lack of usage of this simple plastic, antiquated, disposable unit, by the patient, has contributed to severe problems, such as pneumonia. Without prompting, the patient finds it hard to inhale into a tube repetitively, to improve their lungs. Previous applications of prior equipment has been poor, thus adding intelligence in the form of electronic technology, which prompts without assistance, is a tremendous advantage in helping not only the sighted, but also the blind as well, since normally only written information accompanies the incentive spirometer, thus, changing the use of this medical device as we know it today.
Abstract:
A system for recording the occurrence of a hole-in-one or other preselected event at a golf layout includes a video camera (17) trained upon the tee (13), the target putting green (11), and any intervening area (14) between the tee (13) and putting green (11), plus a recording device (21) for storing video images showing the flight trajectory of a golf ball from a tee to the green. The video camera (17) and recording device (21) are operated by a coin control (18, 19) adjacent to the tee (13). A golfer first inserts the appropriate coins, causing the video camera (17) and recording device (21) to be operational for a predetermined time period. If a hole-in-one or other specified event occurs, the recorded video images can be monitored to verify this fact and to substantiate the claim of a player to any outstanding offer of a prize or reward.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a field for the play of a club and ball game, including: (a) defining, on the field, one or more playable surfaces including: (i) a tee-off area, said area determining a region where game players are permitted to commence play; (ii) a fairway at least partially bounded by one or more one or more unplayable areas; (iii) a green; and (iv) a hole opening into a playable surface of the green, wherein the hole is configured to receive a game ball therein; and (b) defining, on the one or more playable surfaces, one or more corrals, each of said corrals defining an area where supplementary game events may commence from; and where said club and ball game is played over one or more fields, said fields being prepared in accordance with steps (a) and (b).
Abstract:
The invention consists of a machine that simulates the body-driven golf swing and a set of methods which emanate from the principle, attributes and motion of the machine. The machine and methods together form a comprehensive golf simulation system to teach a golfer to perform the body-driven golf swing in order to strike a golf ball with power, precision and consistency. The machine consists of upper cylinder (2), the lower cylinder (3) and longer rod (4), shorter rod (5) that causes a hinged chuck (9) to rotate on an inclined-plane surface perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The motion of the machine is driven by a reactive power element that simulates a resistance based body-driven swing. The set of methods enable a golfer to emulate the motion of the machine and create alignments and torque by exploiting anatomical angles and structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a golf training and practice device, wherein said device comprises a flat element (1) which is placed on the ground separated from the user (20) and spaced from a golf ball (25), and has on its upper face at least one ball direction mark (A), indicating the direction in which the golf ball (25) is to go once hit, and a club orientation mark (B), indicating the orientation in which a clubface of a golf club (30) that is being used must be placed, or lines parallel to said clubface etched on a surface of said golf club (30), where said ball direction mark (A) and said club orientation mark (B) are mutually separated from and are substantially perpendicular to one another. Furthermore, the flat element has a fastening and/or pivot hole (E, F).
Abstract:
A golf putting training device (10A) thai indicates the proper aim point on sloped putting surfaces such as golf course greens and compensates for the slope of the various putting surfaces. The device comprises a platform (12) supporting one or more spirit levels (16DL, 16CL. 16BL, 16A, 16BR, 16CR. 16DR). The device can be elevated upon the putting green surface to permit a golf ball to roll underneath the device when lhe ball is pulted towards the indicated aim point, or not elevated when aim points are referenced to the golf cup or hole.
Abstract:
When scoring a game of golf, a player is equipped with a course guide printed on a position-coded paper provided with coordinates readable by an electronic device. The player indicates/marks on the course guide each stroke he makes by marking on the paper the position of his ball after each stroke using the electronic device. After a completed game the data regarding the golf game registered by the electronic device is processed in a computer and output in a format preferred by the player. The player can also indicate the club he uses for each stroke as a separate input in the course guide printed on a position coded paper. Hereby he can receive statistics of interest after completing the golf game.
