Golf Green Slope Detection System

Abstract

Golf players now just rely on their senses and experience to estimate the curve or slope of the green. This invention and process herein will give the player quantitative feedback which they can use to make a more accurate reading of the golf green. This invention is a two-piece device that balances a golf club horizontally which is used as a reference to the slant of the body as it stands on a slope.

1 . A device that consists of two pieces.
 a) The club piece is used to hold the club at a horizontal position. The club piece consists of a base that has four posts, two on each end that holds the club at spread points to keep it from rolling and to promote stability. It also contains rubber bands or other non-slip materials between these posts that prevent the club from slipping side to side. It also consists of a groove in the bottom of the base across the width and this groove can be at any point along the length. The groove can be in the base or as posts that stick out of the base in a wedge, half circle or eyelet. The L in  FIG.  1    stands for the length which is less than 10 inches. The W in  FIG.  1    stands for the width which is less than 3 inches. The H in  FIG.  1    stands for the height which is less than 2 inches.   b) The hand piece consists of a base which is shaped as a U and it has a fulcrum sitting on and attached to the base. The fulcrum is pointed and can be a solid bar, a series of posts, or a rod. The hand piece is held on the player's finger. The L in  FIG.  2    stands for the length which is less than 10 inches. The W in  FIG.  2    stands for the width which is less than 3 inches. The H in  FIG.  2    stands for the height which is less than 2 inches.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the groove on the bottom of the base of the club piece and the fulcrum on the hand piece can be switched such that the fulcrum is on the club piece and the groove on the hand piece. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein can be made of any material such as, but not limited to, plastic, wood, metal, 3D printer filament or resin.
