Abstract
This invention is a ⅝″ to ¾″ thick plastic or wood board which is hinged in the middle to fold up to 18″ by 11½″ for easy carrying, portability, and storage. Carrying is facilitated by a slot handle at each end. When laid out flat on the floor, the long edge facing the golfer contains three U-shaped “cup” openings which replicate the same diameter holes found on a golf course. The golfer putts the golf ball into one of the three cups to practice his or her putt. Because each cup opening is at a different angle, the golfer is forced to practice the direction of his or her stroke as well as the length of his or her stroke.

Claims (1)
1. a. The invention is made mainly out of wood or plastic which is hinged in the center to fold up to half size, making it more convenient to carry and store.
b. The invention is made mainly out of wood or plastic which is sufficiently hard to make the ball bounce out for improving distance control.
c. The circular indentations (cup openings) are angled to accept golf balls from one origination point so that the golfer does not have to physically move his body significantly to another location for his or her next putt.
