Golf putting trainer

A golf training device for a golfer to utilize in practicing the stroke of a golf club in order to attempt to accurately hit a golf ball toward a remote target, the device comprising:

• a support base adapted for resting on the ground, the support base having a top surface thereon from which a golf ball may be putted toward said target;
• a laser light source associated with the support base, the laser light source generating a visible beam of high-intensity light forward of the support board and toward the remote target to create a visible spot of high-intensity light on the target, wherein the laser light source is associated with the support base in such a position relative to the top of the support base that a golf ball placed on the top surface of the support base will not obstruct the beam of light from forming the spot of high-intensity light on the remote target, wherein the golfer can appreciate the alignment of the golfer's body and of the golf club relative to the remote target by viewing the visible beam of light and the visible spot of high-intensity light on the target;
• and
• a pair of elongated guide rails attached to the support base to receive a golf club therebetween and on the top surface of the support base when the golfer practices by stroking the golf club between the guide rails of the training device.
