ABSTRACT:
A method for putting which achieves improved alignment between the face of the putter and the golf ball towards the desired initial line of progress of the golf ball. In the method, a putter is provided which has a head having a contoured portion of the heel allowing the head to be rotated about the ground from a position where the handle is generally upright to a position where the handle is generally inclined towards the ground. The putter head is provided with an alignment mark allowing a golfer to align the alignment mark, a golf ball, and a golf cup. A golfer positions such a putter such that a golf ball is disposed between the face of the putter and a golf cup. The golfer then rotates the handle of the putter to a position inclined towards the ground such that the face of the putter is facing in a generally upward direction. The golfer then sights along the alignment mark on the body of the putter to align the alignment mark with the golf ball in the direction of the golf cup. The golfer can at this point make further adjustments to the positioning of the head of the putter to account for contours in the ground between the golf ball and the cup. Once the golfer has achieved the desired alignment, the golfer rotates the handle of the putter to a generally upright position such that the face of the putter is essentially perpendicular to the ground. The golfer then grasps the putter, maintaining the achieved alignment, and hits the golf ball with the face of the putter to urge the golf ball in the general direction of the golf cup.
