ABSTRACT:
A simple, reliable and effective apparatus for assisting a golfer in improving their putting stroke is disclosed. The apparatus includes a guide attachable to the waist of the golfer and an extension attachable to the putter grip. The guide includes a narrow slot which is horizontally oriented when the guide is attached to the waist of the golfer. The extension includes a top end which terminates in a thin, wide guide member which slides in the slot of the guide. The extension is preferably a longitudinal section of a cylinder which will clip over the putter grip. The putter grip is preferably covered with the loop portion of a hook and loop fastener. A strip of hook fastener is bonded to the extension so that the hooks engage the loops when the grip of the putter is forced into the bight of the extension. This provides a strong effective attachment. The advantage of the apparatus is that it provides a reliable guide which permits the user to relax and learn the motions required for an ideal putting stroke. The same principle of attachment can also be used to provide an extension for use with a normal length putter in pendulum stroke putting.
