Patent ID: 7544134

Claim:
A golf accessory comprising: A) a golf putter which has a shaft and which includes 1) a first end which is a bottom end when the golf putter is in use, 2) a second end which is a top end when the golf putter is in use, 3) a putting head on the first end, 4) a golf grip on the shaft adjacent to the second end, 5) a bore defined in the shaft of the golf putter to extend from the second end of the shaft of the golf putter toward the first end of the shaft of the golf putter, and 6) a height dimension that is measured between the putting head and the second end; B) a bore defined in the shaft adjacent to the second end to extend from the second end toward the first end of the shaft; C) an extension device for converting the golf putter into a belly putter comprising: 1) a shaft having a first end which is a bottom end when the extension device is in use and a second end which is a top end when the extension device is in use, 2) a connecting element on the shaft of the extension device adjacent to the first end of the shaft of the extension device, the connecting element releasably connecting the means to the shaft of the golf putter for use and including metal brushlike bristles which frictionally engage the shaft of the golf putter adjacent to the bore defined in the shaft of the golf putter to hold the shaft of the extension device to the shaft of the golf putter with the shaft of the extension device extending away from the shaft of the golf putter to define an overall height dimension as measured between the putting head and the second end of the shaft of the extension device, 3) a connecting sleeve slidably mounted on the shaft of the extension device, and 4) a cap on the shaft of the extension device adjacent to the second end of the shaft of the means, the cap being sized and shaped to correspond to the size and shape of the golf grip on the shaft of the golf putter, the cap having a distal end which engages against a user's stomach when in use to define a pivot point with the user gripping a shaft of the golf putter to move the golf putter and shaft of the extension device in a pendulum motion with the stomach-engaging distal end of the cap being a fulcrum; and D) the extension device being separable from the golf putter.
