A golf putting teaching aid includes a putting surface that has disposed thereon a cup near one end and a number of patterns disposed along the length thereof. Each of the patterns has parallel lines aligned with the desired putting path, the two parallel lines being separated by a predetermined distance, preferably the width of a typical golf ball. The length of the two parallel lines in each of the patterns increases as the pattern is moved away from the cup. At a predetermined location along each of the two parallel lines in each of the patterns, a ball location area is defined. The golf ball is disposed at this location and then the club first aligned with the ball such that the face thereof is perpendicular to the desired path of travel and then moved back to the most distal end from the cup. Thereafter, it is moved from the most distal end to the most proximal end in an accelerated motion with the ball location being selected such that optimal acceleration of the club head will be present at the contact point to the ball. Perpendicular squaring lines may also be disposed on the putting surface to aid in orienting the club head. Each of the patterns allows the golfer both a visual aid to maintain the face of the club constant along the desired path of travel, and, also, allows the acceleration to be set as a function of the distance from the cup.
