GB and CA kit

Abstract

FIG. 1, the Golf Ball and Club Alignment Kit, has two separate but necessary integral fixtures consisting of an indoor/outdoor carpet with a surface to simulate the ball action on a putting green, but laid out with a grid of contrasting color FIG. 2, the grid lines are laid out to be contiguous with any additional FIG. 2 's forming a larger practice area, each square may match the size of a regulation golf hole making it multi-directional and multi-purpose, however, size of squares is not essential to its operation as a ball conveyor. A two-mode surface attaching non-diverting vertically or laterally for accurately putted balls receptacle FIG. 3, can be placed anywhere on or off the FIG. 2, along with any selected teeing spot known as a “tee box”.

1 . The golf ball and club alignment kit  FIG. 1 , is made up of rugged and inexpensive components which includes the mat  FIG. 2 , of Indoor/Outdoor carpet meeting all the manufacturers specifications, having an appropriately measured, and permanent contiguously lined grid imprinted on it, so more FIG.  2 's can be laid alongside and/or end to end, having every square of similar width, but not necessarily so, to a regulation hole, for a golf ball to land and roll on, in any direction, and additionally, may be gently watered to provide some additional resistance found on some putting surfaces. It then can also be dried and properly rolled up for easy transportation or storage, immediately after which, it can be unrolled and will lay totally flat. 
   
   
       2 . The target  FIG. 3  has the equivalent width of a normal golf hole, and may be attached to the  FIG. 2  using either its through tunnel or ball-stop mode, is easily attached by pressing firmly down on it such that its own weight of less than two kilograms, should maintain its position, because of the underside profiling, four adjustable spikes, or use up to four duplex nails for any putting green. The  FIG. 3  offers no additional resistance to golf balls when entering inside its regulation ball size opening than would be received from any regular golf hole as it has no base or hill to slow, or obstruct a ball in the tunnel mode so that distance traveled past the hole can be measured, stopped only by the sliding door in the stop mode. There is a line marked through the center of the tunnel for convenience, when on a putting green. 
   
   
       3 . A ball with two perpendicularly placed stripes passing over its center may be used for the purpose and ease to align with the grid lines is also desirable but not essential. Thumbtacks can be placed anywhere on the  FIG. 2  to show swing arcs of both the club and the ball or temporary hole or tee box.  FIG. 3  does not need to be used here, as the squares are indicators being the equivalent of a hole on the  FIG. 2 , making the hole appear much closer with the intent to inspire confidence in the ability to sink the putt. 
   
   
       4 . Tee box and the  FIG. 3  can be anywhere on or between lines, at any angle to the line of play, on the  FIG. 2  for any club, if the club is a putter, this forces the golfer to walk to  FIG. 3  to select the angle to place it to accept a ball, or not using the  FIG. 3  and allow the ball to use any square. Using the driver or other clubs that may take a divot, a driving mat should be placed either in front of, or on top of  FIG. 2 . 
   
   
       5 .  FIG. 3  allows for arbitrary attachments and positions on both  FIG. 2  and greens. In the stop or tunnel mode, an electronic signaling device could possibly be attached, but not supplied, for counting or to notify the player of holing-out a putt, a ball should not be observed until well after it leaves the putter, the brain should have recorded the distance and direction when lining up the putt. 
   
   
       6 .  FIG. 3  can be manufactured using different methods and materials in this case clear acrylic plastic is preferred which will allow light to pass through it to any natural surface beneath. The top has a locking notch and a hole along with a finger hole in the sliding door stop for the purpose of passing a wire tie, or the equivalent of, through them maybe preventing misplacing the stop door. More FIG.  2 's can be added to sideways and lengthways inexpensively, is simple and exciting to use, requiring concentration and the desire to improve in all areas of play. 
   
   
       7 . When using the  FIG. 2  putting practice should start on a reasonably flat and level surface, close to the  FIG. 3  using several balls, requiring the successful putting of all balls, and gradually moving away, as many short putts are missed by experts, or if any are missed, go back to the preceding spot to do it all again. When the ball and  FIG. 3  are placed between the lines, the hole will appear to be directly in front of the ball, concentration becomes prime.
