Abstract
Abstract A flat piece of material such as of plastic or cardboard has bent-over tabs along the top edge thereof. An aperture is formed in the material directly below each tab, a clip member being fitted through each of these apertures being used to removably attach the tabs to the brim of a golfing cap or visor, the material being bent around to conform to the curvature of the brim. A viewing aperture is formed in the material spaced substantially equally from the side edges thereof, and at a distance down from the top edge which corresponds approximately to the eye level of the wearer of a cap with the device attached thereto. The device provides a golfer with a peephole to the ball which is helpful in training him to keep his eye on the ball throughout his swing.
