 a piece of polymeric tape having a removable adhesive side and an opposing non-adhesive side, the tape adhered to the top of the putter by the adhesive side and having a front long side edge that is straight and positioned parallel to and behind the putter top line, wherein the tape covers at least a portion of the top surface of the putter and no other surface of the putter.   
     
     
         2 . A golf putter according to  claim 1  wherein the non-adhesive side has a printed design.
