GolfRing
literally creates a ring around the hole to give you a larger, more realistic target. The GolfRing is made of a revolutionary material that is very durable and is so flexible that it follows the terrain of the green and in no way impedes the ball in its path towards the hole. When placed on the green it creates a target that enhances visualization towards the pin by defining the area around the hole.

The GolfRing weighs less than 8 ounces, is extremely portable and is 6 feet in diameter when in use. When not in use, it easily folds down to an 18\\u201d small ring and conveniently fits inside the large pocket of your golf bag or it can hang on the outside of your golf bag.

The GolfRing was developed by an attentive dad for his 5-year-old son who asked one day, "Dad show me what three feet from the pin looks like." His dad searched for a practice aid to accomplish this with no luck. Drawing upon his manufacturing resources enabled him to develop the perfect visual practice aid. The GolfRing improved the boy\\u2019s short game by providing him a visual target around the hole. That little boy is now a two-time U.S Kids Southern Ohio champion and competed the past two years in the U.S. Kids World Championship. Although The GolfRing was created by one dad for one son, a friend with two golfing sons saw something bigger. They went on to start a company they envisioned could help every golfer of every level improve their short game and even making it fun. In the mean time two of the three boys went on to qualify for the U.S. Kids Regional Championship in 2007 and U.S. Kids Europe. That\'s when the two dads knew they were on to something big and they were off and running with the best practice aid to hit the game in a long time. The GolfRing is being used by some of the biggest names in golf every time they practice.
