         12 . A method for practicing golf putting or chipping, the method comprising:
 placing first golf putting or chipping target at a first location on a playing or practice surface, the first golf putting or chipping target including a first fabric member for resting on the playing or practice surface, a second fabric member for providing a visual target for a golfer, a weight located between the first and second fabric members, and means for joining the first fabric member to the second fabric member;   visually focusing on the second fabric member; and   putting or chipping a golf ball towards the first golf putting or chipping target.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein each of the first and second fabric members comprises a disk shaped portion of fabric. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the disk shaped portions of fabric each comprise a poly duck material. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the poly duck material comprises a woven poly duck material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the weight comprises a washer. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the weight comprises a flexible material. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the weight is adhesively attached to the first and second fabric members. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12  comprising placing a second golf putting or chipping target on the playing or practice surface at a second location that is spaced from the first location and chipping or putting golf balls from the first location to the second location. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  comprising varying a distance between the first and second golf putting or chipping targets and practicing putting or chipping at the targets with different distances between the targets.
