Abstract:
A method and system for improving the accuracy of putting a golf ball that includes a golf glove for use with a putter grip that has a straight edge, with the golf glove having a visual line alignment feature/illustration that allows a golfer to place his or her hand in a repeatable, proper position on the grip of the putter. The golf glove employed is devoid of any putter attachment feature, such as hook-and-loop fastener material on the glove or the golf grip and is further devoid of any indicia affixed to the back-hand portion of a glove that could be viewed as an alignment indicia, as it only complicates and confuses a golfer when putting. Preferred embodiments include a golf glove that includes a marking forming a straight line that diagonally crosses the palm portion of the glove such that, when worn by a wearer, provides the wearer with a visual indication of the proper gripping position of a golf putter, such putter having a grip that has at least one flat surface and an edge extending down the axial length of the grip that can be aligned with the visual indicator markings/line on the golf glove.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for achieving a proper golf grip position for a cross-over putting grip using a guide line on a golf glove in combination with a straight edge on a putter grip, comprising the steps of:\n providing a golf glove having a palm surface, and a base finger portion at a base of an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, and a little finger, and a guide line indelibly illustrated on the palm surface and that extends diagonally across the palm surface of the glove, the guide line passing across the base finger portion and that slopes at an angle of 20-30 degrees from a phantom straight line drawn horizontally across the palm surface of the golf glove; providing a putter grip that has a lower portion and an upper portion that has at least one continuous longitudinal edge extending at least down the lower portion, said edge being configured so that it can be felt by a golfer wearing a golf glove; gripping the lower portion of the putter grip with the golf glove by superimposing the at least one edge of the grip longitudinally over the guide line on the palm surface of the glove so that the guideline is substantially lined up with the at least one continuous longitudinal edge.
