ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a practice mirror for improving golf putting skill. The practice mirror is comprised of a generally planar reflective surface, upon which are a stance line, a target line perpendicularly intersecting the stance line, and a positioner for locating a golf ball. The positioner is located at the intersection of the stance and target lines, this intersection lying approximately at one quartile of the stance line. In operation, the golfer places the mirror on the ground, places a golf ball in the positioner and aligns his body and putter club by standing over the mirror and viewing his reflection. This allows the golfer to detect and correct body alignment errors that would otherwise go undetected, thereby improving his putting skill. In a slotted, or channel, embodiment the golfer can perform an actual putt by means of the channel. The distance between the edges of the channel are such that when a golf ball is putted away from the closed end of the channel at any angle other than substantially parallel to the edges of the channel, the golf ball ricochets against the edges of the channel before traveling out of the channel.
