 a reflective body having a major body axis and a minor body axis, the major body axis being aligned with a first horizontal axis in a horizontal plane;   a spirit level having a major level axis and a minor level axis, the major level axis being aligned with a second horizontal axis normal to the first horizontal axis in the horizontal plane; and   attachment means for connecting the reflective body to a putter head.   
     
     
         2 . The removable putting aid as in  claim 1 , wherein the reflective body is a mirror. 
     
     
         3 . The removable putting aid as in  claim 1 , wherein the reflective body includes at least two lines thereon to form a reflective eye window therebetween.

         7 . A putting aid, comprising:
 a reflective body having a major body axis and a minor body axis, the major body axis being aligned with a first horizontal axis in a horizontal plane;   a level having a major level axis and a minor level axis, the major level axis being aligned with a second horizontal axis normal to the first horizontal axis in the horizontal plane; and   an attachment device for connecting the reflective body to a putter head.   
     
     
         8 . The putting aid as in  claim 7 , wherein the reflective body has a mirror surface. 
     
     
         9 . The putting aid as in  claim 8 , wherein the reflective body includes at least two indicators disposed thereon to form a reflective eye window therebetween. 
     
     
         10 . The putting aid as in  claim 7 , wherein the reflective body is shaped to form a reflective eye window.

         12 . A method for creating a professional putting posture, the method comprising:
 providing a putting aid having a spirit level disposed in a horizontal plane, the spirit level having an oscillating bubble therein, the putting aid further having a reflective surface and an attachment device connected proximate the reflective surface;   attaching the putting aid to a putter head with the attachment device;   leveling the bubble;   while maintaining the level bubble, bending from waist toward the putter head; and   while maintaining the level bubble, reflecting eyes in the reflective surface.   
     
     
         13 . The method as in  claim 12 , wherein the attachment device is one of a magnet, a hook and loop fastener and an adhesive.
