Golf training aid for putting

A golf training aid for putting, comprising

• a sheet of stiff material having
• a body portion,
• a forward point portion extending forwardly from the body portion with a digger forward flange that extends at right angles to the body portion for aiming along a line to the target,
• two side point portions extending sideways from the body portion and having forward edges which terminate in side points,
• two rear point portions extending rearwardly from the body portion which terminate in rear points,
• said digger flange being wide enough to prevent movement of the aid when the flange is inserted into the ground,
• the forward edges of the two side point portions being square to the line of the forward point portion so that a putter face which is positioned on or parallel to the forward edges of the side point portions is square to the target line,
• whereby a golfer may line up his putt,
• place the aid perpendicular to the ground so that its rear points contact the ground and support the aid upright,
• aim the digger forward flange along the target line,
• flop the aid forwardly using the rear points as pivot points,
• insert the digger forward flange into the ground to hold the aid in place with the forward edges of the side point portions being square to the target line,
• place a golf ball in front of the digger forward point portion,
• address the ball with a putter and position the face of the putter blade on or parallel to the forward edges of the side point portions to insure that the putter face is square to the target line,
• draw the putter blade back low to the ground and slide it over the upper surface of the aid, and
• stroke the putter blade through the ball while keeping his head steady,
• whereby by using star putting aid, the golfer knows that the face of his blade is square to the target line and may work on speed and distance of his putts without wondering whether his putter head is aimed correctly.
