Abstract
A portable golf putt practice device for guiding a golfer to putt a golf ball toward a hole aids the golfer in swinging the putter along a straight line and hitting the ball along a desired path to the hole. Additionally, the golf putt practice device guides and conditions the golfer with respect to the putter and its movement and elevation along the device and is so formed that the improper elevation of the putter engages a portion of the device to emphasize the incorrect elevation and/or position of the putter immediately prior to hitting a golf ball adjacent thereto. The golf putt practice device comprises a lightweight relatively small portable device consisting of an elongated straight cross-sectionally round rod and a pair of shorter cross sectionally round rods positioned transversely of one end of the elongated rod and secured to said one end thereof in slightly elevated relation to the upper surface of the elongated rod. If the head of the putter is too low for proper engagement with a golf ball when the head is slid along the straight elongated rod during a putting stroke, the slightly raised transversely positioned pair of rods will provide a small bump which is telegraphed to the golfer's hands to indicate the undesirable non-elevated soled position of the putter head.
