ABSTRACT:
A golf putter includes a head having a heel portion on which alignment markings are formed in order to allow a golfer to use a club shaft in a manner to properly align the putter head relative to an intended path of ball travel and to align the golfer's head relative to the ball. The alignment markings include first and second longitudinal markings that are parallel to a striking face of the putter head. At least the outer edges of the first and second markings are spaced apart by a distance greater than the diameter of the club shaft, so that when the putter is perpendicular to the intended path and the golfer's head is directly over the ball, both outer edges are visible and extend parallel to the shaft. Preferably, the shaft is at an acute angle to the heel portion and extends in a direction away from a toe portion of the putter head. The alignment markings preferably include a center marking that is screened from the view of a properly positioned golfer. The center marking is between the first and second longitudinal markings. The center marking operates as an indicator of improper alignment, since the center marking is visible only if the putter head or the golfer's head is in a position other than that required for a technically correct putt.
