Multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool

Abstract

A multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool that enables golfers to mark, remove a golf ball, adjust aim and replace with one or more alignment guides on a desired target line while playing golf. The tool features a curved base that anchors into the ground via two supporting cylindrical posts on the bottom which is joined to a curved top featuring one or more parallel lines, with or without additional alignment guides, to aim and align while moving independently in a circular pattern around a golf ball. Designed primarily for putting, the circular rotation of the alignment tool allows the golf ball to remain centered which ensures proper repositioning of the golf ball on the exact, original spot while enabling a solid, congruent line(s) from the adjustable golf ball marker to the golf ball.

1 . A multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool for marking a golf ball and assisting with aiming/aligning comprising the following components: top; base; additional alignment/aiming guide and plug. 
     
     
         2 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top features aiming/aligning guides. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top is adjustable by rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions via a “T” shaped cavity that is joined by the curved adjustable golf ball marker base. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top features four concave ridges to allow a connection between the top and additional alignment/aiming guides. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved adjustable golf ball marker base features a “T” shaped arc protrusion. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved adjustable golf ball marker base features multiple cylindrical anchoring posts for the purpose of securing the tool to the ground in a fixed location. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved adjustable golf ball marker base is the support component in which the “T” shaped cavity of the curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top envelops the “T” shaped arc protrusion. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a “T” shaped plug permanently encloses the curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top after insertion of the curved adjustable golf ball marker base. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein an additional alignment/aiming guides are positioned above the rectangular portion of the top and attach to the top via four convex ridges. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein an additional alignment/aiming guides allow for customization, as well as mirror a particular desired mark on a golf ball, for the purposes of aligning/aiming. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a curved adjustable golf ball marker base remains fixed and secured to the ground via the cylindrical anchoring posts, the curved rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top rotates around the geometric axis of the golf ball, in either a left or right direction, so the center alignment line will always dissect the center of the golf ball regardless of the rotation. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein lines of congruence are achieved from the aiming/aligning guides of the curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top, or from the additional alignment/aiming guide if in use, in relation to the golf ball alignment guides on a golf ball. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-functional adjustable golf ball marker and putting alignment tool as in  claim 1  wherein a geometric design enables the curved, rectangular adjustable golf ball marker top to rotate around the golf ball in a semi-circular manner, in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, allowing for the golf ball to be replaced in the exact, original spot where it came to rest before marking.
