 Adjustable slope and contour practice putting green assembly and method

Details
Inventors: Lee, Duckchan;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Graham; Mark S.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Dorsey & Whitney LLP

An adjustable contour and slope practice putting green assembly having a base (22) and a practice putting green platform (21) mounted to the base for support of the platform (21) and a player standing on a support area (28) of the platform (21) over the base (22). The base (22) is formed for selective tilting of the platform (21). The weight of a player standing on the putting green platform (21) is used to hold or fix the platform (21) to the base (22) in an adjusted position. The platform (21) is cantilevered away from the base (22) and preferably the base assembly (22) includes a spherical surface structure (34,51) and a ring (23) cooperatively formed to enable universal adjustment of the slope of the platform (21) about the center of a spherical surface (34,51) when the player is not standing on the platform. The platform may be deformable, for example, by including a deformable peripheral frame (42) which enables adjustment of the contour of the playing surface (29) in addition to adjustments to the slope of the surface (29). The contour adjustment is independent of the slope adjustment. A method of using an adjustable slope, contour and length practice putting green assembly also is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION 1.
An adjustable practice putting green assembly comprising: a base assembly; and a practice putting green platform having a hole proximate one side thereof, a player support area spaced from the hole, and a putting surface extending therebetween; the putting green platform being removably mounted to the base assembly for support of the putting green platform and a player standing on the player support area, on the base assembly and secured to the base assembly only by gravity, and the putting green platform extending laterally of the base assembly to position the hole at a laterally spaced distance from the base assembly; and the base assembly being formed for selective manual adjustment of the orientation of the putting green platform relative to a horizontal plane when the player is not on the platform and being formed for holding of the putting green platform in a desired adjusted orientation on the base assembly when a player stands on the player support area of the platform.
2.
The practice putting green assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein, the base assembly and putting green platform are formed for cantilevered support of the putting green platform from a side of the base assembly.
3.
The practice putting green assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein, the putting green platform is movably mounted to the base assembly for selective extension and retraction of the platform relative to the base assembly for adjustment of the distance between the hole and the base assembly.
4.
The practice putting green assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein, the putting green platform is provided by a flexible putting green surface and a deformable peripheral frame, the flexible putting green surface being mounted to the peripheral frame, and the peripheral frame being further formed for selective deformation to produce contour changes in the flexible putting green surface and formed to contain a golf ball on the putting green surface.
5.
The practice putting green assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein, the base assembly is formed with a high friction surface to hold the putting green platform in selected tilted orientations when the player stands on the player support area
