Abstract

The present invention in several embodiments comprises a straight crosspiece approximately 24″ long that is supported by two perpendicular recessed support members. The crosspiece may extend out over the putter'"'"'s sight line. Several adjustable brightly colored clips may be attached to the crosspiece. These pieces may slide apart or together into varying positions in order to train the golfer in the appropriate stroke length for a putt of any distance.
