The present invention provides a device and method for putting practice. The putting training device of the present invention positions a plurality of objects and a practice ball on a practice surface in a pattern and, in the preferred embodiment, comprises an arm arrangement of two connected rods having telescoping ball receptacles at each end. The rods are pivotally connected at the approximate midpoint of each rod at a pivot point such that the rods may move in a scissor-like fashion. Each receptacle contains a cavity that allows a standard golf ball to nest within it. A fifth receptacle is located directly below the pivot point of the two rods and also contains a cavity in which a golf ball may nest. The four golf balls contained within the perimeter receptacles are the guiding balls. The golf ball positioned within the fifth receptacle is the practice ball to be putted once the putting training device is removed from the five positioned golf balls. The method comprises: providing an alignment device comprising; two ball sockets that define a take-away gap; two ball sockets that define a follow-through gap; the take-away gap and follow-through gap further defining a putting arc distance gap; placing a plurality of objects on a putting surface; overlaying the alignment device on the objects so that the sockets contain an object; and removing the device, thereby leaving the objects on the putting surface.
