Abstract

The present invention is a putting alignment and aiming tool and ball marker, to assist a user in aligning and aiming a putt on a putting surface with a golf ball. The tool can be colored or in black and white and have a generally horizontally flat circular coin body with a top flat surface with a middle area and a bottom flat surface with a middle area. The tool is placed behind the golf ball with the bottom flat surface in flat physical contact with the putting surface that indicates an intended putting line. The top flat surface is also visible to the user to assist the user in aligning and aiming the putt on the putting surface with the golf ball towards a hole or practice cup. The tool can also be flipped over exposing the bottom surface area that can also indicate an intended putting line. There is also a single overall method of usage for both the colored and black and white tools also.
