Golf Putting Practice Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a golf practice putting device comprised of a lower section and an upper section being rotatably attached via hinge means. Panel inserts have a felt material or other turf like material thereon, and are mountable on the sections. Openings are formed in the upper section and panel insert for golf balls to exit into a capture area. Opposed elevation means are secured to the upper section. The elevation means allow the angle of the putting surface to be modified according the slope the player desires. Platforms are securely engaged with the elevation means to provide stability balance.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A golf practice putting device, comprising in combination:
 a planer upper section having an upper surface and a lower surface, a first end and a second end, an end wall, side edges, and further having a passage positioned at a predetermined location through the section therethrough;   a planer lower section having an upper surface and a lower surface, a first end and a second end, and side edges;   upstanding parallel side walls formed on the upper surfaces of the upper section and the lower section, the walls attached to the edges of the sections;   a ridge affixed on the upper surfaces of the upper section and lower section defining a channel, and whereby a slot is defined between an outer perimeter of the partition, and the end wall of the upper section, and the side walls of the lower section and the upper section;   a panel insert mounted in the channel, whereby the panel insert has a passage defined therethrough positioned at a predetermined location in alignment with the passage of the upper section;   simulated turf material secured to an upper surface of the panel insert;   opposed elevation adjustment means secured to the upper section; and   hinge means connected to the lower surface of the upper section and the lower section.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising the side walls formed on the upper surface of the upper section having a bore formed therethrough and a threaded brass insert being mounted in the bore, wherein the adjustment means are comprised of an outwardly threaded rod mateable with the insert with a knob at first end of the rod and a round head nut at a second end of the rod. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one platform having an upper planer surface and a lower planer surface, and further having an indentation of predetermined size formed in the upper surface to securely engage with the round head nut of the adjustment means. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising a rim integrally formed in the passage of the upper section and an insert member mountable on the rim. 
     
     
         5 . A golf practice putting device, comprising in combination:
 a planer upper section having an upper surface and a lower surface, a first end and a second end, an end wall, side edges, and further having an opening positioned at a predetermined location through the section therethrough;   a planer lower section having an upper surface and a lower surface, a first end and a second end, and side edges;   upstanding parallel side walls formed on the upper surfaces of the upper section and lower section, the walls attached to the edges of the sections;   a ridge affixed on the upper surfaces of the upper section and lower section defining a channel, and whereby a slot is defined between an outer perimeter of the partition, and the end wall of the upper section, and the side walls of the lower section and the upper section;   a first panel insert mounted in the channel, whereby the first panel insert has a passage defined therethrough positioned at a predetermined location in alignment with the passage of the upper section;   a second panel insert mounted in the channel abutting against the first panel insert;   simulated turf material secured to upper surfaces of the panel inserts;   opposed elevation adjustment means secured to the upper section, wherein the adjustment means comprises an outwardly threaded rod mateable with a threaded brass insert being mounted in a bore in the side walls of the upper section, and further comprises a knob at first end of the rod and a round head nut at a second end of the rod;   at least one platform having an upper planer surface and a lower planer surface, and further having an indentation of predetermined size formed in the upper surface to securely engage with the round head nut of the adjustment means; and   hinge means connected to the lower surface of the upper section and the lower section.
