Laser dots putting aid

A putting aid comprising:

• a projector including a light source and the optical elements for generating a light pattern defining a linear path on a putting surface;
• a power source connected to the light source;
• a housing in which the projector and the power source are mounted;
• a putter clamp for releasably mounting the housing on the shaft of a putter, the putter clamp including a mounting ball secured thereon;
• and
• a housing clamp secured to the housing and adapted to be releasably secured on the mounting ball so as to allow for positioning of the projector to project the linear path extending generally perpendicular to the putter clubface.

A putting aid comprising:

• a dotted line projector including a housing having mounted therein,
• a power source,
• a laser diode light source switchably connected to the power source,
• an aspheric collimating lens, and
• a beam splitter, wherein the collimating lens projects a collimated beam from the light source to the beam splitter, and the beam splitter splits the collimated beam into a preselected number of n beams which project n dots spaced apart in a linear path a preselected distance, d, when the beams are projected onto a putting surface from a preselected distance, D, above the putting surface;
• a clamp for releasably mounting the housing on the shaft of a putter;
• a mounting ball secured to the clamp;
• and
• a housing clamp secured to the housing and adapted to be releasably secured on the mounting ball to allow simultaneous positioning of the projector about two or more axes so as to allow for positioning of the beams to project the linear path perpendicular to the clubface of the putter.
