Methods for training golf putting skills

摘要

A method of training golf putting skills is provided which is related to improving a sweet-spot type swing for a golfer. The method preferably includes determining a sweet spot of the head of a golf putting club, positioning a light projecting apparatus on a proximal end portion of a golf putting club, and downwardly projecting a beam of light from the apparatus positioned on the proximal end portion of the golf putting club onto a putting surface so as to form a line of light positioned substantially perpendicular to and extending outwardly a substantial distance prior to and a substantial distance away from the sweet spot of the head of the golf putting club. The method also preferably includes performing a pendulum-type swing on either a real or imaginary ball and attempting to maintain the line of light so that it passes over the center of the ball and remains there throughout the stroke until ball contact is made.
