    摘要: A gravity-powered golf putting ramp configured to receive a golf ball in motion in a first direction, guide the golf ball using an arced ramp in a second direction that increases gravitational potential energy, and guides the golf ball in a third direction that is substantially the opposite the first direction. The gravity-powered golf putting ramp includes: a planar base that supports the gravity-powered golf putting ramp when it is placed on a planar surface; a leading edge connected to the planar base, the leading edge having a small height relative to a width of the leading edge; a putting arc configured to receive a golf ball in motion, the putting arc connected to the leading edge and oriented in a direction substantially similar to the planar base. The putting arc is configured to: guide the golf ball having a first amount of kinetic energy and having a first path that is at least partially in an upward direction from the planar base until the golf ball reaches an apex, at which point it has substantially no kinetic energy and does have an amount of potential energy relative to the planar base; and guide the golf ball in a return path that is substantially directionally different than the first path and that is downward from the apex.
