Description

Golf putting simulation {GOLF PUTTING SIMULATION}

The present invention relates to a golf putting simulation, and more particularly, when a putting distance is determined, an opening/closing means closest to the putting distance operates to open a hole cup, thereby providing a sense of reality at a distance similar to the actual remaining distance when putting. This made it possible to putt well. At this time, the opening and closing means is structured so that the operating plate for opening and closing the hole cup hole moves up and down using a cam and a link, so that the structure is simple and easily manufactured and can be conveniently used. In addition, the operation plate has a closing plate that is inclinedly installed and rotates, so that a golf ball that has fallen into a hole cup hole can be easily recovered by an auto tee-up machine along the slope of the closing plate placed in an inclined state.

In general, the putting simulation is a simulation that allows practicing putting toward a hole cup on the green of a golf course even indoors, and is produced so as to feel the same reality as putting on an actual field. These putting simulations are designed to practice putting in various ways, as shown in (Patent Document 1) to (Patent Document 3) below.
