Golf putting training apparatus

Abstract

A golf putting training apparatus. Plural horizontal and vertical components with plural visual aid components are included that are used to properly align and properly swing a golf club putter. A 6:4 ratio is used with the plural horizontal and vertical components to provide a ratio for backswing and following through distancing and to help create muscle memory for a golfer. A pre-determined thickness is included allowing the golf club putter to be swing over the apparatus preventing the golf club putter from impacting a ground surface. The plural horizontal and vertical components help keep a face of the golf club putter in a proper alignment and at a ninety-degree angle to the golf ball when it is struck with the golf club putter.
