ABSTRACT:
A putting practice device which provides a golfer with a means for maintaining a predetermined putting stance and which ensures that putting strokes are pendulum strokes containing no lateral motion. The putting practice device comprises an elongated L-shaped angle bar with a bearing surface; an elongated central member having a longitudinally disposed slot; and an elongated foot member. The foot member itself is adjustably connected to the central member so that the angular and positional relationship between the foot member and the central member can be selectively adjusted by a golfer. In addition, the central member is connected perpendicularly by one of its ends to the longitudinal center of the elongated angle bar. This latter connection can be made pivotally adjustable to thereby provide a collapsible putting practice device. In use, the practice putting device is positioned on the ground such that the angle bar parallels the intended trajectory of a golf ball, while the central member is perpendicular to the angle bar, and while the foot member is oriented with respect to the elongated central member so as to lie along the golfer's toes. The bearing surface of the the angle bar serves as a guide for the putter head during practice strokes to ensure pendulum strokes.
