146 Golf practice hole with variable diameter rim US479512 1995-07-07 US5524891A 1996-06-11 A. James Owen, Jr.; Henry St. Louis, Jr.; James P. Richardson
A golf practice hole with a variable diameter rim provides a flexible material positioned over a series of radially-movable supports that each define a portion of an edge or rim of a hole. The flexible material is typically provided with expansion areas that can include slits that define separate flaps of material. The flaps of material are tensioned beneath the movable supports to maintain the flaps in engagement with the supports. As the supports are moved radially-inwardly and radially-outwardly, the material follows the supports and defines a continuous surface above the rim throughout a range of movement of the supports. The range of movement defines a corresponding range of hole rim diameters. The flexible surface remains free of discontinuities and breaks despite diametral changes in the rim and provides an improved playing surface.

Springs, elastomeric or otherwise, absorb shock from an errant ball striking the target. Fittings are provided for ready adjustment of the target area vertically and horizontally. The bases have hollow interiors for the addition and removal of ballast. Weights are used to keep the vertical cords plumb.
148 Golf putting apparatus US152685 1993-11-16 US5342053A 1994-08-30 Clinton L. Smith
Golf putting apparatus useful for practice and amusement. Golf balls are putted along a path toward a target zone. The width of the path is resolved into segments which define the target zone, bogey zones on opposite sides of the target zone, and multiple bogey zones outside of the bogey zones. The size of the target zone is varied from cycle to cycle to provide holes with different par values. A bonus zone in the center area of the target zone allows birdie and eagle scores to be achieved when a selected number of consecutive putts are made in the bonus zone. Each segment within the target zone is assigned a maximum allowable speed which increases toward the target zone center. Even if a putt is within the target zone, it is considered a miss if the maximum allowable speed for the putt location is exceeded.

160 Golf game US3784207D 1971-12-06 US3784207A 1974-01-08 GENTILUOMO J
Golfing lanes constructed and equipped for the playing of a golf game which lends itself to a handicap system whereby players of varying abilities can compete on a handicap adjusted scoring basis. Each lane has a golf tee disposed at one end, an upright target disposed at the opposite end for segregating balls on a directional accuracy basis, a ball receiver for receiving and classifying balls gravitating from the upright target, and ball confining members disposed with respect to the golfing lanes for preventing ball cross-fire into adjacent targets. The upright target has ball-to-target impact sensing devices functionally associated with control apparatus for providing ball momentum classification. Since the mass of a golf ball is constant, ball momentum is representative of ball velocity or the time required for the ball to travel the fixed distance between the tee and target. The apparatus for determining ball momentum may include such components as an acoustic sensing unit, one or more inertia switches, a time sequence programmer, an operatively associated pulser, relays and a counter. Scoring of each ball hit is provided by combining numerical representations of a directional accuracy factor and a ball momentum factor. For playing the game, each player hits a predetermined number of balls with both wood and iron clubs in a prearranged sequence into the vertical target. This game can be extended to include also floor targets which can be disposed forward of each vertical target. For scoring purposes, these floor targets with associated controls have apparatus for classifying and providing a numerical representation of all balls hit therein with short range irons. Game scoring is devised to place a premium on directional accuracy with the ball momentum factor associated with balls hit to said vertical target included merely to more thoroughly scruntinize each golf shot and add a challenging distinctive quality to the game. Scores of each shot taken are displayed on a counter situated on a score table located at each golf tee area.
