  • Patent number: 6770000
    Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses an alignment paddle that allows the golfer 18 to identify a straight line between the golf ball 12 and the intended target 14. The hand held alignment paddle includes a vertical elongated aperture 26 and two parallel horizontal apertures 22, 24. One horizontal aperture intersects at the top 22 of the vertical aperture and the other horizontal aperture intersects at the bottom 24 of the vertical aperture 26. The intersections create an upper 34 and a lower 36 viewing passage centerline. The golfer 18 identifies a straight path from the golf ball to the intended target by positioning the paddle in his line of sight such that the golf ball 12 is visible in the lower viewing passage centerline and the intended target, e.g., the hole 14 is in the upper viewing passage centerline. When both the ball 12 and the intended target; e.g., the hole 14 are visible, a straight path has been identified.
