Indoor golf putting training apparatus

Abstract

Provided is an indoor golf putting training apparatus, which includes a golf putting pad, a target block, an effective target portion, and a stand-alone erect mirror. The golf putting pad has a flat and extensive surface, which including a first golf putting reference point which is formed at the rear side of a virtual golf putting line in the lengthy direction, a collimating point which is formed on the virtual golf putting line at the front of the first golf putting reference point, a collimating line which connects the first golf putting reference point and the collimating point, and a second golf putting reference point which is formed at the rear side of the first golf putting reference point in order to perform a high-level golf putting operation. The target block made of a hard material is installed at the most leading position of the virtual golf putting line on the golf putting pad. The effective target portion made of a sound absorption material is installed at the central portion of the target surface of the target block. The stand-alone erect mirror is located at the front line of the golf putting pad.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0104092, filed on Oct. 25, 2006, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an indoor golf putting training apparatus, and more particularly, to an indoor golf putting training apparatus which has an appropriate structure of training a golfer to forward a golf ball straightly to a target point on a flat and extensive golf putting mat, in order to maximize a success probability of a short-distance golf putting shot of a near distance (about 2 m or so) during golf putting.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A golf shot is largely divided into two kinds in a golf game. The first kind of the golf shot is a shot which needs a big swing using a driver, a wood club, an iron club, etc....

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]To solve the above problems of the conventional art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an indoor golf putting training apparatus whose structure is simple and installation and removal is easy.

[0009]It is another object of the present invention to provide an indoor golf putting training apparatus which goes well even if it is installed in any indoor places since it is made of the similar or same material to or as that of a building material, to thereby provide an interior ornamental decoration.

[0010]It is still another object of the present invention to provide an indoor golf putting training apparatus having a flat and extensive golf putting pad, which enables trainee golfers to learn the most basic ability of accurately sending a golf ball to a target pint in place on a flat and extensive field which is not inclined among various golf putting technologies.

Problems solved by technology

Most amateur golfers and some professional golfers may fail in sending a golf ball exactly by a putter to a desired point in place.

Most amateur golfers lack a basic ability of sending a golf ball softly straightly to a target point, respectively.

Some of professional tour golf players have an ability of sending a golf ball softly straightly to a target point, respectively, but since the muscles of the golf players' bodies are overstrained because of an oppressive feeling on a success of a short-distance golf putting operation, a yipe phenomenon that a golfer hesitates and taps on a golf ball suddenly may occur.

If a golfer fails in a short-distance golf putting operation due to lack of confidence, he or she may shaken spiritually to thereby often spoil the golf game.

However, it is not possible for golf trainees to efficiently do a golf putting practice in a current indoor golf practice facility.

Golfers who have not already mastered basic know-how on golf putting may learn a bad habit or attitude of a real shot in playing a golf game, to accordingly waste only time or cause an adverse effect.

In particular, since there are various kinds of grass in a golf playing green, it is difficult to form such various kinds of golf putting green environments in the conventional golf training apparatus.

Even if the conventional golf training apparatus may be realized to have various kinds of golf putting green environments, they may not be helpful for trainee golfers who play a real golf playing game in real golf playing greens which have various kinds of grass.

As a result, the existing golf training apparatuses have become golf putting practice mats differing from the real situation, which provide a low value in a practical use.

Further, some training apparatuses are coarse or complex, which may be treated as disgust facilities and provide a problem of a high price.
