Abstract
A golf ball putting device used by a golfer to practice a line of sight directly over the top center of a golf ball when putting the ball. By practicing with the device, the golfer enhances his or her skill in alignment of sight over the top of the golf ball with improved putting skills. The golf ball putting device includes an upright support having a vertical lower portion, a curved middle portion and a horizontal upper portion. The lower portion can be inserted into a ground surface or inserted into a stand. The upper portion includes a forked end. The forked end includes a first fork arm and a second fork arm with an eye alignment opening therebetween. Ends of the first fork arm and the second fork arm are joined together by an elongated upper sight alignment member. The upper sight alignment member, when properly positioned, is parallel to the direction of travel of the golf ball when it is putted. Suspended from opposite ends of the upper sight alignment member are a pair of suspension chains. Lower ends of the chains are attached to opposite ends of an elongated lower sight alignment member. When the upper and lower sight alignment members are placed above the top of the golf ball and the golfer's line of sight aligns the upper sight alignment member above the lower sight alignment member, then the golfer knows his or her line of sight is directly above the golf ball.
