Laser putting aid and associated method

A method of training a golfer to achieve a proper alignment of the golfer's body over a golf ball when putting on a green, comprising:

• attaching a golf putting training device to the golfer's body, the training device including:
• laser means for projecting a beam of light, the laser means having an ON/OFF switch for selectively turning the beam “on” or “off”, the laser means having a distal end at which end, a laser firing lens is located and a proximal end;
• means for attaching the golf putting training device to a desired location on the golfer's body;
• connection means for interconnecting the proximal end of the laser means and the means for attaching the golf putting training device to the desired location on the golfer's body;
• and
• the connection means further including means for allowing the laser means to swivel and pivot, said means for allowing the laser means to swivel and pivot further having sufficient resistance to such swivel and pivot action for minimizing oscillation of the laser means as the golfer moves into a putting position and for maintaining a projection of the beam of light vertically downward essentially perpendicular to a ground surface as the golfer prepares for and completes the putt;
• generating the beam of light and projecting said beam of light on the ground surface;
• and
• setting up with a putter in a putting position to putt the golf ball and using the indication of the location of the beam of light projecting on the ground surface to align the golfer's eyes over the ball.
