ABSTRACT:
A hand held sighting device for golfers, particularly for use in determining correct putting directions on sloping putting greens. The device is a box-like, transparent receptacle in which a pointer is pivotally mounted. The lower end of the pointer is weighted so that it operates in the manner of a plumb bob. One of the sides of the receptacle has a central longitudinal line that passes through the pivot axis of the pointer and a plurality of transverse lines one of which also passes through the pivot axis of the pointer. In use, the golfer stands or kneels directly behind the ball facing the cup and sights through the device with his dominant eye. The eye of the golfer, the ball, the longitudinal line of the device and the cup must be brought into line, and one of the lower transverse lines must pass through the cup. The device is then tilted to the left or right to line up one of the upper transverse lines with the slope of the green and having done this the pointer will point in the direction that the ball should be propelled.
