Abstract
A training device to improve a golfer's putting ability. The device includes a guide rod supported by legs. An arm rotates about a longitudinal axis of the rod. The arm includes a targeting device (laser), which allows the golfer to align the training device and golf ball with the hole. The golfer establishes club head and ball position relative to the rod suitable to his/her putting stance and putter type. The device is aligned with the hole by moving the rod based on the direction of the light emitted from the laser. When properly aligned movement of the putter along the rod sends the ball towards the hole.
