Abstract
A method of aligning and addressing a golf ball upon a putting green in order to stroke and putt the golf ball into a cup of the green, comprising the steps of: a) resting a golf club upon a surface of a putting green with its shaft disposed at an acute angle with respect to the surface, in order to position a golfer with respect to a club head of the golf club, wherein his or her eye is directed directly over a reflective surface of the club head when addressing a golf ball, and a grip of said shaft being extended at an angle and adjacently to the side of the golfer; b) presenting the golf club in an addressing position, so that the club head is adjacent a golf ball, and is positioned to putt the golf ball, and the grip of the shaft is disposed in front of the golfer; c) optically aligning the club head towards a cup of the green by sighting a reflection of the cup upon a reflective surface on the club head, and adjusting the club head direction; and d) optically controlling the stroke of the club head by sighting a reflection of the golf ball upon the club head and aligning the club head with respect to the golf ball.
