ABSTRACT:
A visual alignment device made of any appropriate high impact material that may be readily attached as a temporary training device or bonded as an integral part of many existing putter type golf clubs that assists the player in visualizing the putting line, in positioning his eyes over the putting line, and in properly aligning the putter head with the ball to be struck and in maintaining that alignment throughout the stroke. The top half of the device consists of a hollow hemisphere of the same diameter as a golf ball containing a sighting slot running substantially across it from the front to the rear and a number of small holes that simulate dimples in the ball and also allow light to enter the device. The base of the device has features which properly position the device on putter heads and has a brightly colored raised reference line bisecting the interior of the base extending from the front to the rear so that when the device is properly fixed upon a putter head and when the putter is properly aligned with the ball to be struck, the reference line will point to the center of the ball to be struck along the putting line and the player's eyes will be directly over the putting line.
