The PuttingDisc Receives Patent

Familiar with the PuttingDisc? (the website is a little rough) I saw the figures below in a patent that issued this week and thought that I had seen it before, but there is hardly a reference to it on the web (so I must have been mistaken). Oh well, further proof that it is not easy to get a golf training aid to market.

The patent is USPN 7347789 titled “golf putting practice device” and describes the invention as:

A golf putting practice device comprising a disc, the disc having an annular top portion and an annular bottom portion, the annular top portion having a top edge and the annular bottom portion having a bottom edge, the annular top and bottom portions forming an outer annular peripheral edge, the disc optionally provided with a central opening extending through from the top edge to the bottom edge, the central opening at the top edge having a diameter substantially greater than the central opening at the bottom edge and the outer annular peripheral edge projecting between the bottom edge and the top edge and spaced a substantial distance from said top and bottom edges.

Pretty cool little invention.
