Abstract: The present invention relates to a putting stroke training apparatus comprising a arcuate, elongated rigid member adapted to fit over the front of the right forearm, wrist and hand of a right-handed golfer. The rigid member has a first strap on one end and an elastic band with a second strap on the opposite end to secure the forearm, wrist and fingers against the rigid member. The apparatus prevents the muscles in the wrist and fingers from flexing and contracting during the swing, thereby training the muscles and muscle memory for an improved putting stroke.
