| 20080274837 | Slope indicator - A slope indicator for fastening to the ground of a putting green to indicate the slope during the game of golf is disclosed to include a housing having a transparent top face and a pointed bottom anchoring rod for fastening to the ground, a fluid sealed in the housing, and a bubble formed in the fluid inside the housing and shifted in the fluid subject to the tilting condition of the housing to give an indication of the slope of the ground to which the slope indicator is fastened. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090017943 | Golf green reader - A Golf Green Reader is disclosed. The device is available in two versions—one that is elongated, is sized similar to the length of a golf umbrella and allows the user to site the putt line while standing, and a second version that is handheld. The device includes optics to provide the user with the ability to site along a laser-pointer line and focus, zoom and obtain a wide-angle view of the cup from the ball location. The device further overlays an image that aids the user in holding the device in a level position while siting along the putt line. The image overlay includes symbology that indicates current spacial orientation of the device, the desired spacial device orientation and the direction to correct the device orientation. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100160089 | APPAPATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING GOLFING INFORMATION - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of collecting data associated with a golfing activity, comparing a condition associated with a first golfing event with the data associated with the golfing activity to determine an occurrence of the first golfing event, and performing an action in response to at least the first golfing event and a second golfing event occurring at a specified sequence. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100285903 | Apparatus for Measuring the Stimp and Other Characteristics of a Putting Green - An apparatus for measuring the rolling resistance and other characteristics of a golf course putting green is disclosed herein. The present invention can be incorporated into a golf ball housing and used by golfers, greens keepers, and other persons to measure the green speed or stimp, and other characteristics, of a putting green on a golf course. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100331119 | BALL ROLLING DEVICE - Described herein is a rolling ball device comprising a pair of ball support structures secured together and spaced apart so as to support a golf ball there between, each of the ball support structures having a first portion having a first end and a second end and having a first surface with a clothoid shape and having a second portion having a first end coupled to a second end of the first portion and a second end, the second portion having a first surface having an arc shape and having a third portion having a first end coupled to the second end of said second portion and having a second end, the third portion having a first surface having an inverted clothoid shape. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110160003 | TRAINING DEVICE FOR READING A PUTTING GREEN - A training device assisting golfers in reading putting greens includes a housing having a central cavity shaped and dimensioned for receiving the golf ball therein. The housing includes a closed first end and an open second end. A force producing mechanism is positioned at the closed first end of the housing and extends toward the open second end within the housing. The force producing mechanism is positioned within the housing for selective actuation thereof so as to contact and push forward a golf ball positioned within the housing. Upon actuation, the force producing mechanism launches the golf ball smoothly onto the golf putting green surface at a pre-determined speed. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110177889 | Expert Greenreading Techniques - In order to reduce or eliminate bad green reads, the inventor has devised expert green reading techniques that allow a golfer to accurately and quickly read greens, thereby reducing scores and increasing enjoyment for the golfer. Rather than making a green read while being positioned behind the ball with respect to the cup as in conventional green reading techniques, in the disclosed expert green reading techniques a golfer takes a specific, precise, and consistent stance on or adjacent to a path between the ball and the cup. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110237357 | Golf Putting Visualization Aid - A golf putting visualization aid for a golfer who is practicing the putting of a golf ball into a hole located on a green. The visualization aid has a slope indicating vessel ( | 09-29-2011 |
| 20120065001 | GOLF GREEN SLOPE READING AID - The present invention provides a golf aid for determining the slope of putting green or other area of a golf course.
