System and method for practicing golf

Abstract

A system and method for practicing golf, specifically for putting and chipping of a golf ball. The system utilizes a plurality of measuring members to determine a fall line and a curved line displaying of the best path of the ball based on the slope and measured distance from the golf ball on a green to the golf cup. Additional devices can be used alone or in coordination with the system to assist with the practicing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for practicing golf putting, comprising:
 a first measuring member;   the first measuring member configured to measure a first distance from a golf cup to a golf ball;   a second measuring member;   the second measuring member configured to show a curved line from the golf ball to the golf cup;   a third measuring member;   the third measuring member configured to show a straight line representing a line wherein a golf ball rolls straight.   
     
     
         2 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 1 , wherein:
 The first measuring member comprises a plurality of markers configured to indicate a specific distance from the golf cup.   
     
     
         3 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first measuring member is a first color.   
     
     
         4 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the second measuring member is a second color.   
     
     
         5 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the third measuring member is a third color.   
     
     
         6 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a reel;   the reel selectively holding at least one of the measuring members.   
     
     
         7 . A system for practicing golf chipping, comprising:
 a first measuring member;   the first measuring member configured to measure a first distance from a golf cup to a golf ball;   a second measuring member;   the second measuring member configured to show a landing area for the golf ball;   a third measuring member;   the third measuring member configured to show a specified radius around the golf cup.   
     
     
         8 . The system for practicing golf chipping of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the first measuring member comprises a plurality of markers configured to indicate a specific distance from the golf cup.   
     
     
         9 . The system for practicing golf chipping of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the first measuring member is a first color.   
     
     
         10 . The system for practicing golf chipping of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the second measuring member is a second color.   
     
     
         11 . The system for practicing golf chipping of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the third measuring member is a third color.   
     
     
         12 . The system for practicing golf chipping of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a reel;   the reel selectively holding at least one of the measuring members.   
     
     
         13 . A method for practicing putting of a golf ball toward a golf cup with the use of a first measuring member, a second measuring member and a third measuring member, comprising the steps of:
 placing the third measuring member within one inch of the golf cup;   wherein the third measuring member configured to show a straight line representing a line wherein a golf ball rolls straight;   placing a first measuring member configured to span the distance between the golf cup and the golf ball, wherein the first measuring member is at a particular angle to the third measuring member;   placing a second measuring member that forms a curved line;   putting the golf ball.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the first measuring member comprises a plurality of markers configured to indicate a specific distance from the golf cup.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the first measuring member is a first color.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein:
 the second measuring member is a second color.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein:
 the third measuring member is a third color.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 utilizing a golf tee to secure one or more of the measuring members.   
     
     
         19 . The system for practicing golf putting of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a gate configured to represent the golf cup;   the gate comprising a line.
