Abstract
A free standing putter is formed by appropriately weighting the putter head relative to the shaft and grip and forming a foot surface on the putter had which permits the putter to stand alone on the green without external support. The free standing putter permits the golfer to view the geometric relationship of ball, cup, putter and topography of the green from various distances and perspectives.
