ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for determining the direction to impart to a golf ball when putting is disclosed as having a transparent receptacle including at least one longitudinal line on at least one side thereof. A slot is provided in the top of the receptacle that is adapted for placement of a slidable member therein, the slidable member being adapted for motion within the slot. A plumb line is attached at one end thereof to the slidable member and a weight is attached to the remaining end of the plumb line. In use a golfer looks through the receptacle while aligning the longitudinal line over both the golf ball and the target cup simultaneously. The golfer then slides the slidable member within the slot until any portion of the plumb line or the weight is also superimposed simultaneously over the golf ball and the longitudinal line. The plumb line then becomes the preferred direction to impart to the golf ball while automatically compensating for the slope of the golf green so that the ball will naturally curve by force of gravity toward the cup when the ball is impelled in the direction indicated by the plumb line.
