Golf club putter and method of putting

Abstract

A golf club putter and method of putting which complies with the rules of golf provides the player with an improved view of the ball and head of the putter when putting putts of a short distance The method provides a putting stroke which aids the golfer in carrying out a putting stroke, maintains the putting face of the putter in a perpendicular orientation which respect to the line-of-putt thereby compensating for the golfer's tendency to deviate the putter face from the perpendicular orientation with respect to the line-of-putt. The steps of the method include addressing standing on an opposing side of a golf hole from the golf ball resting a surface of the green, straddling an extending line of the putt extending from the golf ball through the golf hole, extending a golf putter from the opposing side of the golf hole and positioning the putter head of the golf putter behind the golf ball with respect to the golf hole, resting the putter head of the golf putter on the surface of the green behind the ball and drawing the putter head of the golf putter toward the golf hole thereby striking the golf ball on a side of the golf ball opposing the golf hole such that the golf ball travels towards the hole.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A method of putting a golf ball on a green of a golf course by a golfer, comprising the steps of the golfer: 
 standing on an opposing side of a golf hole from the golf ball resting on a surface of the green;    addressing an extended line-of-putt extending from the golf ball through the golf hole;    extending a golf putter from the opposing side of the golf hole and positioning a putter head of the golf putter behind the golf ball with respect to the golf hole;    resting the putter head of the golf putter on the surface of the green behind the golf ball;    drawing the putter head of the golf putter toward the golf hole; and    striking the golf ball on a side of the golf ball opposing the golf hole such that the golf ball travels toward the golf hole.    
     
     
         2 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of addressing the extended line-of-putt includes positioning the feet of the golfer on opposing sides of the extended line-of-putt.  
     
     
         3 . The method as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the feet of the golfer are spaced equal distance from the extended line-of-putt.  
     
     
         4 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of extending the golf putter from the opening side of the golf hole includes aligning a shaft of the golf putter along the extended line-of-putt.  
     
     
         5 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of resting the putter head on the surface of the green behind the golf ball includes positioning a length of the putter head substantially perpendicular to the extended line-of-putt.  
     
     
         6 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of drawing the putter head toward the golf hole includes sliding the putter head on the surface of the green.  
     
     
         7 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of striking the golf ball includes making a single contact with the golf ball.  
     
     
         8 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said step of striking the golf ball includes striking the golf ball with a surface of the putter head.
