Abstract
A device to speed golf play by accurately and quickly measuring distances a golf ball lies from a turnable flagstick (20 FIG. 1A, mozat part of invention) containing two similar bodies (10 and 11 FIGS. 1 and 2) wrapped centrally around said flagstick with a 90 degree rotational measuring arm (22 FIG. 5) held in a slot (15 FIG. 2A) by a pin (14 FIG. 2) with a plumb bob (29 FIG. 5) at one end pointing downward from a numbered position to pinpoint the exact distance toward said turnable flagstick within which measure a putted golf ball must lie for the next putt to be counted and conceded so that the ball may be picked up without putting. When not in use, a gripping device (23 FIG. 5) at the outer end of arm (22 FIG. 5) will hold said arm (22 FIG. 5) to flagstick (20 FIG. 1A) when rotated 45 degrees upward.
