1. A golf putter with a hole through its head, comprising:

  • a. a golf club head having a top wall, bottom wall, rear wall, striking face, heel portion and toe portion;

    b. a vertically aligned hole in the shape of a cylinder having a predetermined diameter extending completely through the club head, said diameter being vertically continuous from said top wall to said bottom wall and located approximately centrally between the heel portion and toe portion and between said front and rear walls, the hole being fully open and unobstructed so that an object of the same or smaller diameter can pass entirely through the hole in either direction; and

    , c. a sighting mark formed on the club head top wall and split into forward and rearward segments by the hole so that both the hole and sighting mark segments may be viewed in aiding the golfer to line up the ball, d. said club head being substantially symmetrical so that the mass on the toe side of the hole is equal to the mass on the heel side of the hole in order to counterbalance and minimize twisting tendencies of the club head upon misaligned contact between the striking face and the golf ball, and, e. said predetermined diameter being equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of a given golf ball, permitting the hole to be used as a quick check ball gauge and ball roundness detector.
