Abstract
A golf practice putting device comprises an elongated mat upon which a golf ball is propelled from one end to an opposite end exhibiting a ramp surface and an abutting elevated normally level surface provided by a frame supporting the mat at such opposite end. An aperture is provided at the elevated surface and a ball entering the aperture is guided to a first receptacle in the frame where the ball is retained. Balls rolling toward the aperture but missing the aperture drop into a second open top receptacle. The first receptacle is covered by a liftable portion of the mat. For retrieving balls from the first receptacle, the mat portion covering the first receptacle is manually lifted. Means are provided on that mat portion for causing the mat to remain flat above the first receptacle despite repeated lifting and bending for ball retrieval.
