ABSTRACT:
A device for improving putting strokes used by golfers includes a guide member which is spaced from the ground for sliding contact with the back side of a putter shaft. The guide member includes a straight section in regions overlying a target area of the ball, and also includes a curved rearward section so that the club swings through a natural pendulum motion during the back swing and down swing of the putting stroke. In preferred embodiments, the guide member is provided with a number of matched pairs of spaced apart indicia which may be visually observed by the golfer to ensure that the putting stroke is balanced and extends equal distances on opposite sides of the ball target area. Advantageously, the device is foldable to a collapsed, relatively small profile for transport or storage, and also may be set up in a reversed orientation for use by left-handed golfers.
