  • the plates for checking address are to allow both eyes to be accurately placed right above a ball and a putting line in golf putting. Furthermore, as a mirror for checking accuracy of a stance or swing in golf, a mirror for checking alignment is known, which has a mirror member having predetermined vertical and horizontal sizes, a few linear lines for checking alignment that are drawn on the mirror member, a scale drawn on the mirror member to allow checking of positions of each part of the body, a swing width, or the like, and a tee peg insertion hole for checking the trajectory of a ball that is drilled in the mirror member to practice golf putting (Patent Document 2). In the invention of Patent Document 2, an improvement is made to the invention of Patent Document 1, and the plates of Patent Document 1 are replaced with a mirror to allow players see themselves reflected in the mirror and allow more effective practice.

Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has arrived at one exemplary aspect of the present invention by finding out that, when the golf putting practice device has a structure that allows an angle of the half mirror, which is formed in a flat plate shape, to be changed to various angles from the horizontal direction, not only can the players practice putting while looking at a golf ball in a direction that is 90° from the surface of the green, that is, while looking at the golf ball from directly above the golf ball, but also each player can find his or her own optimal angle and repeat practice at that angle.
