Abstract

An attachment device for attaching to a golf putter to practice golf putting with the combined the golf putter, comprises a body member formed of a rigid material, the body member including a generally planar first surface for contacting against a vertical front surface of a head of a golf putter, and a second surface extending from the first surface and having a narrow area designed for hitting a golf ball for putting; and an attaching member including an elastic band, the attaching member configured and dimensioned to attach the body member to the head of the golf putter with the elastic band.

1 . An attachment for attaching to a golf putter, comprising: 
 a body member formed of a rigid material, the body member including a generally planar first surface for contacting against a vertical front surface of a head of a golf putter, and a second surface extending from the first surface and having a narrow area designed for hitting a golf ball for putting; and    an attaching member including an elastic band, the attaching member configured and dimensioned to attach the body member to the head of the golf putter with the elastic band.    
   
   
       2 . The attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the second surface of the body member defines a narrow tip area extending conically from the first surface and designed for hitting the golf ball at the narrow tip area.  
   
   
       3 . The attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the second surface of the body member defines an arcuate area extending laterally from the first surface and designed for hitting the golf ball at the arcuate area.  
   
   
       4 . The attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the body member is configured to attach to the head of the golf putter with the narrow hitting area aligned to a suitable hitting area of the head of the golf putter.  
   
   
       5 . The attachment of  claim 4 , wherein the body member includes an aligning line on an upper surface of the body member configured to align to the suitable hitting area of the head of the golf putter.  
   
   
       6 . The attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the body member includes a vertical slot formed adjacent to and parallel to the planar first surface for receiving the attaching member in the slot in order to attach the body member to the head of the golf putter.  
   
   
       7 . A combination of a golf putter and an attachment for practicing golf putting, comprising: 
 a golf putter including a head and an elongate shaft extending from the head, the head of the golf putter having a hitting surface designed for hitting a golf ball with the hitting surface; and    an attachment for attaching to a golf putter, the attachment including a body member formed of a rigid material, the body member having a generally planar first surface for contacting against the hitting surface of the head of the golf putter, and a second surface extending from the first surface and having a narrow area designed for hitting a golf ball for putting practice; the attachment further including an elastic attaching member configured and dimensioned to attach the body member to the head of the golf putter for practicing putting with the attachment of the golf putter.
