Abstract
A device for enabling a golfer to determine the proper length of putting stroke according to the distance between ball and hole and according to the lie of the ball. The device comprises a plurality of scales representing relationships between putting strokes and putt distances for various lies. According to visual estimates of the distance and lie of a ball, be it flat, uphill, downhill or sidehill, a golfer may read out from the scales the corresponding putt stroke and aim necessary to hole a putt of any distance and lie.
