A further important object of the invention is to provide means to insure the proper pendulum swing, necessary for accurate playing, while putting.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevational viewof a putter disclosing an attachment constructed in accordance with the invention as positioned thereon.
