Abstract
A golf putter having a head designed to function effectively, both on the green, on the fringe thereof as well as in the higher grass areas, which comprises a rectangular body with a flat base which helps prevent "heel high-toe high" formed with comb-like longitudinal ridges or runners which serve to part grass blades during forward and backward movement and provided with a horizontal upwardly positioned ball striking surface and a downwardly tapered top surface having a ball pick-up socket at its rear edge.
