Abstract: A device which allows a golfer to practice the putting stroke. The device includes a pair of ball members connected in spaced relationship by a rod member. Each of the ball members is of the size of a standard golf ball and the total weight of the device is approximately that of a standard golf ball. In use, the putting device is first aligned on the putting surface between the putter and the intended target so that the rod member is aligned along the line between the putter and the target, and the golfer then contacts the ball at the outer end of the device with the putter moving in the direction of the rod member so that the device travels toward the target. The device allows the golfer to verify putter face alignment during address of the ball and also to establish whether or not a correct putting stroke has been executed through the zone in which the putter makes contact with the ball.
