ABSTRACT:
The method of facilitating putting a golf ball into a cup on a sloped green comprises providing a pair of right angularly related float levels within a hollow frame with each float level having an axis, index marks and a sighting rod in the frame; orienting the frame to a first upright plane at eye level while visually aligning the sighting rod, ball and cup maintaining the frame at right angles to the line of sight, and angularly adjusting the axis of the first level parallel to the transverse slant in the green. A further step includes noting the position of the buble in the first level relative to its central index to selectively indicate the extent and direction of slope of the green. The location of the bubble defining the ball stroking path which with the correct stroking force will assure a curved path of travel into the cup. A further step includes orienting the frame into a second plane at right angles to the first plane parallel to the line of sight and angularly adjusting the axis of the second level into parallel registry with the slope of the green up and down along the line of sight. As a further step noting the position of the bubble in the second level relative to the central index, to indicate the extent of the slope uphill or downhill to the cup, as bearing upon stroking forces. A green inclination level for golfers comprises a hollow frame having a pair of right angularly related first and second float levels with longitudinal axes and indica marks including a bubble and an elongated sighting rod in the frame parallel to the first float level for an initial visual alignment with the ball and cup.
