Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a novel golf ball stopping device. The golf ball stopping device includes an upper plate, set at a height so it slows or stops a golf ball which rolls under the plate. The underside of the plate includes a material and structure that provides resistance to the golf ball as it contacts the device. The plate may be supported by a center post, so the golf ball can be aimed at the device from any direction and perform the same function. The center post fits together with a base, and is adjustable to the base so the plate can be positioned at a desired height. The base may be weighted to achieve the optimal friction on the golf ball and to provide stability to the device. The base may include a plurality of downward facing protrusions in order to grip the surface on which it is set and keep the device from spinning when a golf ball rolls under the outer edge of the device.
