A method of aligning a putter, including the steps of providing a putter
having a head, a heel, a toe, and a planar striking face including a
removable reflecting surface for receiving and reflecting incident light;
providing a light source separate from the putter head; directing light
from the light source towards the reflecting surface such that the
reflective surface is illuminated with and reflects a portion of the
light; and detecting the reflected light with a reference device.
