Abstract: A golf putter head has a pair of spaced notches formed in the top surface of the face plate thereof. These notches run through the face plate transversely and have a width and depth suitable for removably receiving golf tees or the like in retention therein. With golf tees installed in each of the notches, such tees form spacers extending normally from the face plate, the distance between such spacers being such as to receive a golf ball therebetween with a small space to spare on either side of the ball. The golfer practices putting by striking the ball on the surface area of the face plate without the ball striking either tee. The tees are readily removable when the putter is used for actual play.
