Practice golf ball

Abstract

The present invention provides a practice golf ball for approach shots and putting practice for helping golfers to improve the precision of their approach shots and putting when they hit regular golf balls, from which the golfers receive the same feeling of hit as from a regular golf ball. The smaller practice ball has a heavy metal core covered with rubber and the outer surface is coated or covered with a coating or covering material or a surface finishing material. Its weight and resilience are established to give the same feelings of heaviness and hit as the regular golf ball. Using these balls in the practice of applying the club face to the balls toward the target using an approach shot club or a putter, golfers acquire a latent image of the practice golf ball. Thus, the regular golf ball appears to be larger than its actual size. In this manner, golfers become capable of precisely applying the club face to the golf ball and improving the precision of their approach shots and putting.
