         9 . The putting training device of  claim 4  wherein the interchangeable elongate putting path member has a length of greater than one foot. 
     
     
         10 . The putting training device of  claim 4  wherein the elongate putting path member has a length of greater than two feet. 
     
     
         11 . The putting training device of  claim 4  wherein the elongate putting path member has a length of approximately three feet. 
     
     
         12 . A putting training device, comprising:
 a. a first base portion;   b. a second base portion located distal from the first base portion; and   c. an interchangeable elongate putting path member having a first portion supported by the first base portion and a second portion supported by the second base portion.   
     
     
         13 . The putting training device of  claim 12  further comprising a third base portion located between the first and second base portions, the third base portion supporting the elongate putting path member at a third portion between the first and second portions of the elongate putting path member. 
     
     
         14 . The putting training device of  claim 13  wherein the third base portion has an end located proximal the second end of the base, the end of the third base portion having an angle aligned oblique with respect to a longitudinal axis of the elongate putting path member. 
     
     
         15 . A putting training device, comprising:
 a. a first base portion;   b. a second base portion located distal from the first base portion;   c. a third base portion located between the first and second base portions, the third base portion supporting the elongate putting path member at a third portion between the first and second portions of the elongate putting path member, the third base portion having an end located proximal the second end of the base, the end of the third base portion having an angle aligned oblique with respect to a longitudinal axis of the elongate putting path member; and   d. an inclined, elongate putting path member having a first portion supported by the first base portion and a second portion supported by the second base portion, the elongate putting path member having a width approximately the same as the diameter of a golf ball.   
     
     
         16 . The putting training device of  claim 1  wherein the elongate putting path member is interchangeable. 
     
     
         17 . The putting training device of  claim 16  wherein the interchangeable elongate putting path member has a width of approximately one inch. 
     
     
         18 . The putting training device of  claim 16  wherein the interchangeable elongate putting path member has a width of approximately ¾ inch. 
     
     
         19 . The putting training device of  claim 16  wherein the elongate putting path member has a length of greater than two feet. 
     
     
         20 . The putting training device of  claim 16  wherein the elongate putting path member has a length of approximately three feet.
