Abstract
A laser guided putting aid to enable a golfer to practice and perfect his putting stroke. The laser guided putting aid includes a combination laser and clamp by which the laser is detachably connected to the shaft of the putter without having to make any changes thereto. The laster emits a pattern of light that fans out in a vertical plane so as to cast a vertical reference line against a target that is located at the end of a putting surface. The golfer practices his putting stroke while attempting to maintain the position of the vertical reference line against the target. If the golfer's putting strokes becomes non-linear, the reference line will move off the target to immediately provide the golfer with a visual indication that his stroke is off-line. An alignment device is included so that the laser is connected to the shaft of the putter such that the vertical plane in which the pattern of light is emitted from the laser will lie in perpendicular alignment with each of the putting surface and the striking face of the putting head of the golfer's putter.
