Abstract
Disclosed herein is a golf putter designed to improve accuracy of putting by providing an alignment means on the putting head of the putter by which the putting head can be aligned with a line running from a point near the hole through the golf ball to a point substantially behind the golf ball. The alignment means extends towards the back of the putting head, which allows the putting head to be aligned with the center of the ball and the point behind the ball. The point behind the golf ball is closer to the ball than the point near the hole, thus providing for a more accurate alignment between the putting head and the line. Further, the alignment means is of a sufficient length to accurately align the putting head to the line. The device of the present invention includes a grip, a shaft, a putting head, and an alignment means. A preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention includes a grip, a shaft, a connecting arm, a putting head with a front section and a back section, a rear alignment notch and a front alignment gauge.
