ABSTRACT:
A plurality of methods of training golf putting skills are provided, namely to assist a golfer in developing a pendulum-type swing, improving a sweet spot type putting shot, reducing tendencies to push or pull shots, and improving follow through. An apparatus for training a plurality of golf putting skills and being adapted to connect to a shaft of a golf putting club is also provided. The apparatus preferably includes a housing and an optical transmitter positioned in the housing for transmitting light therefrom. Light pattern configurator is associated with the housing for selectively configuring the transmitted light into either a line pattern of light or a spot pattern of light. The apparatus also preferably includes shaft mounting device connected to the housing for adjustably and detachably connecting the housing to the shaft of a golf putting club. A preferred method of using the apparatus includes the steps of positioning a light projecting apparatus on a golf putting club so as to project a planar beam to form a line positioned transverse to the longitudinal direction of a golfer's feet and between the golfer's feet and the head of the golf putting club; maintaining the line of light generally parallel to a straight line putting swing path and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the golfer's feet; and performing a pendulum-type swing on either an imaginary or real ball while observing the line of light.
