ABSTRACT:
A golf putter with an adjustable sighting device to improve accuracy of putting, particularly on hilly terrain. A directional dial is fixed above the club head with a pointer just below the dial being rotatable by the golfer to different positions relative to the dial to fix a direct line between the ball and the cup independently of the angular position of the club head. The pointer is carried in a horizontal position generally at right angles to a rod that rotates in a bore within a tubular fitting by which the club shaft is secured to the club head. A steel cable coaxially secured to the rod extends telescopically through the hollow club shaft to a rotary cap or knob on the upper end of the club shaft by rotation of which the golfer is able to adjust the pointer relative to the dial to obtain a directional fix on the cup. Thus, independently of the terrain, the golfer may stroke the club head on a line coincident with the direct line to the cup enabling the angularly disposed club head to strike the ball appropriately to cause the ball to take a curved path to the cup compensatory to the amount of lateral slope on the green. In a modified embodiment, a pointer is permanently fixed to the club shaft in a position perpendicular to the face of the club head.
