Abstract: Golf putting training apparatus (1), for use with a putter (22), comprises a base (10) having a support (11) upstanding therefrom, and a guide (12) carried by said support (11). The guide (12) has an elongate guide surface (18) for the shaft (21) of the putter (22) to be slid along during putting. An indicator (17) extends laterally from the base (10), below the guide surface (18), to provide a golfer (19) with a visual indication of the alignment of the face of the putter head (23) with respect to a golf ball (24) positioned adjacent the indicator (17). In use, the golfer (19) practises a putting stroke by swinging the putter (22) so that the shaft (21) slides along the guide surface (18), whilst using the indicator (17) to align the face of the putter head (23) at an appropriate angle for striking the golf ball (24).
