  • Patent number: 10058760
    Abstract: A golf training device and method of using the same for improving the aim and accuracy of a golfer's putting stroke may be provided. The golf training device may include a plurality of panels coupled together in an accordionlike manner to form a putting tunnel. Each panel may have a main body with visual indicium disposed on a front-facing surface thereof to indicate a line of putt. The golf training device may be extended along a proper trajectory of a golf ball for putting the golf ball toward an intended target. Orienting the golfer's putting stance so that the visual indicium of each panel appears to form a continuous straight line may ensure the golfer's eyes are directly over the intended line of the putt.
