ABSTRACT:
The apparatus enables the golfer in the course of a putting stroke to establish and to prolong the point of visual reference of the position of the putter face with respect to the center of the ball and the intended target line. This invention is comprised of an adjustable "L" shaped alignment member which may be affixed to the shaft of the putter proximate to the putter face to establish a visual line at a right angle to the putter face and extending from the desired point of contact with the ball through the center of the ball. The golfer aligns the putter face such that the alignment member passes above the center of the ball in line with the intended path of the ball. The extension of the alignment member allows the golfer to determine when the line of the putting stroke or position of the putter face varies from the line established at address (the act of initially aiming the putter) because the length of the alignment member will exaggerate any movement of the putter face to a position that is not perpendicular to and in a direct line with the line established at address. Failure to maintain the putter face position with the target line throughout the stroke will invariably result in an "offline" or missed putt.
